I cannot right the wrongs.
The tragedy and heartbreak
Of the fallen that are mourned
A history of evilness
Since man has come along.

I think, but do not do
For fear I'll speak the truth
About the reason men have died
Protecting you from you

We are what we see in others
Our beliefs and way we live
Taking from the takers
Giving just to give

Only when it is convenient
When it suits us and feels good
Having love for thy neighbor
In someone else's neighborhood

Positivity has left me
In turn I fear the worst
If history repeats itself
Then we are inevitably cursed

Since the days of cavemen
Every battle fought and "won"
Has led to severed bloodlines
A father to his son

Taught to love or hate
The monsters we create
To hurry up and wait
And showing up, way too late.
Recent worldly events and the sad state we are in, was my inspiration for this poem.
