Every day I wake up,
It's to some news that says
Somewhere, to someone,
Something horrible happened.
And things keep on getting worse
Even children aren't spared the abuse.
I wonder what happened
To the good ol' days when
Watching our backs wasn't the norm.

It saddens me when I look around
And see people just not give a ****
It is morbid to note how narrow
Have people's business become
Though we live in a globalised world.
We need to revisit our consciences,
Look deep down inside and ask ourselves
Why are we here on this earth
If not to love and be loved?
