Tears stream down my face
As I watch the evening news
My eyes see each horrible case
And I follow the camera crews
A bomb exploding in Boston
A boy killed by police
Then fluff about a dolphin.
All this needs to cease.
Another man killed on the streets
Genocide in other lands
People sleeping without sheets
Shivering from toes to hands
People rioting in the dark
Looting shops and homes
Humanity has left its mark
All that will be left are Bones
Future generations will look back at ours
After we are dead and gone
We have created our own jail bars
They might never see the dawn
This world is so messed up
I think we need a proctor
We are all like Angry Pups
*What we really need is a Doctor.

I was watching the news and saw the newest story about the riots in Baltimore. I couldn't hold it in, I nearly started sobbing. All of these stories about terrible things that happen, and the world goes on like nothing is happening. They create a dome around the "troublesome" area, or they simple don't look, and for that reason nothing is going to get better. This poem was written behind tears.
