More bad in the news today.
More terror, more death, more violence, more sadness, more panic, more devastation.
Each time we ask "why",
But are we really surprised?
Seeing these things has become such a common occurrence that it seems out of the ordinary to not hear of a new attack, ******, shooting every day.
Why is there no peace?
Why is there no love?
Why do these things happen to innocent people?
What can we do to change it?
The world is rampant with evil, and it seems there is little hope.
But all it takes to grow a garden is a little care and sunlight.
All it takes to bring happiness is a little care and doing what's right.
All it takes to spread love is to open your heart and never stop the fight.
We must continue to try
We must continue to cry
We must continue to be
We can't let them win
We endure and we are strong
We can come together and show the evil ones
That love conquers all
And that it takes more than one, two, three men to knock us down when we're ten feet tall.
