i have lost the beauty of life
everything is in black and white
every sound is nothing but static
war, violence, and all other impurities
they take what is beautiful, and tear it apart
what has happened to this world?
what has happened manners?
what has happened to all the smiles?
this world has become so ugly
i have yet to see the beauty in what we are becoming
a world where no one says hello to a complete stranger
just to be kind, please and thank your are words of the past
this ugly place is not one i want to call my home
i shall not see true beauty until i have found a place
a place where war, and violence are not tolerated
i refuse to take part in a world where rape is tolerated
a place where a woman must scream FIRE because she knows
if she yells for help no one will come to her rescue
a place where children are bought and sold as if mere toys
a place where one believes they have no chance
to make a future for themselves
until i find a place where courtesy is not uncommon
i shall see nothing but black and white
