Anger, violence, outrage and being offended by every little thing.

This is the sign of the time

Once we accepted a man's word because his word was his bond but now we can't trust anyone.

There's too many people getting killed and ***** hundreds and thousands more each year.

When did it become so normal for us to see ***, drugs and death on TV that we no longer see the Horror in it.

And when someone is killed people become outraged and think they should take it up in their own hands but all they are doing is cause more trouble more violence leaks out more people get hurt and the person whose death they March for never gets their Justice.

Of course how we take every little thing now offensive and spin it out of control.

It's like turning a molehill into Mountain and that turns people angry and more people get offended and then they turn angry and that anger turns into violence it's a vicious circle.

Why can't we just go back to when the world was simple and people weren't blowing other people up.

There weren't riot in the streets that ended up with more people hurt.

Good cops weren't getting persecuted because the action of the rotten and the world was so much better.

You know your neighbors.

You could leave your doors unlocked and you didn't have to worry how the world outside your home was going dark. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale
