Untitled

by robinwright28

Sometimes I'm scared to walk outside Cause the world has gone insane It seems we need a miracle To save us from this pain Tragedy is all I see When I turn on the news The politicians and media Are plotting their next ruse Why can't we all, just use our minds And think all by ourselves Instead of buying the stories That the media, is trying to sell The media, is selling hate And we're all buying in The world is on a dinner plate And their feeding off our sins Their using social platforms now To fully extend their arms Knowing that will fuel the fire And cause us further harm Honesty is dead and gone The world has lost its heart We need to come together now Before the world, just falls apart Rallies filled with picket signs Aren't working anymore Cause everyone's, completely forgotten Just what we're fighting for We need to put down all the signs And throw our weapons down And remember that peace, is the safest way To find some common ground Hate has caused a million problems But never solved, a single one Its escalated, to the point Where we're turning, on everyone Our leaders need to do the job We elected them to do They need to find, a peaceful way To help us make it through They need to put, agendas aside Forget the left and right Cause if they don't, I just don't see A resolution in sight They can't make this, about politics Our problems are bigger than that Their agendas, have turned us against each other And that's a simple fact So, set aside your differences And set aside your greed And fix this mess, that you have made That's what, our country needs Quit with all the personal attacks On one another's lives You can play, your political games On some else's time It's time for you, to join forces now And put your heads together You made this mess, now clean it up It's time to make this better There's one thing, that I know for sure And that's, hate is bred from hate And it's clear to see, that this is what Has brought us to this state You should be ashamed Of all, the chaos, you've allowed You haven't done, a single thing To make this country, proud So shut your mouths, and get to work The country, is depending on you It's time for you, to do the job We hired you to do.
