Let's get real
No more games
No more lies
Let's just get real

Poetry is not a battlefield
People are meant to die in an outlet of emotions
It was not meant to be this way
THIS IS NOT A WAR

Why do we have guns aimed at each other
When the truth is we all have something in common
Shouldn't we be helping each other instead of having death matches
Why is this happening

What happened to roses are red, violets are blue
I love you too
When did poetry become so dark
When did it become a weapon of mass destruction

The oceans are so red when they were once blue
They're tainted by the blood some of us try and cleanse our hands of
Other stand by the once clean rivers shooting themselves in the head
As they just give up on the sacred art

Is this really what poetry has become
A blood bath of sad songs
Such disparity
Is this the truth of poetry is

Then it only becomes worse because of those who embrace the dark art
Drawing swords striking down anyone who dares fight against them
Will this stupid cycle of chaos ever end
This is not what it was meant to be

Poetry was meant to be the angel of light
Not the lord darkness
Now look at this new so called "poetry"
Look at this new disgrace
