Beautiful people and beautiful souls
living in a world
Full of hatred and evil
Evil people and evil souls
Hell bent on doing wrong
Full of wicked intent
They hurt others
To block the pain
Without a care in the world
Little boys and girls
Frolic and play all day
Dreaming of one day
Growing up and becoming adults
Little do they know
Being an adult isn't a luxury
They lie and cheat and steal
Only to become old, alone, and destitute
Longing for the thing they can't obtain
Intangible and unachieveable
In the eyes of many these
Are the walking dead
The soulless entities
That walk the earth feeding
On the sadness and pain of others
Broken and unfixable
My only wish
Is that I never
Become one of them.
