Think about the hurt in the peoples eyes
Negativity is pulling hope from their grasps
The cane that supported them is breaking
Hatred is swallowing their heart

Think about the hurt in the child's mind
Learning the ways of reality young
Holding onto what shouldn't be
Being changed into what isn't needed

Think about the hurt in the elders soul
Knowing the difference between worse and worsening
Trying to believe in their grandchild's well being
Praying for the light to spread

Think about the hurt in my words
Words that don't want to be written
But have to be shared
My wish is for these words to be unthinkable someday

I just think about the hurt
and realize
this world needs hope
