Today.

Today I saw a girl begging on the road
While I was sitting comfortably in my car
With the AC turned on the highest mode
While the girl roamed on the roads with a face filled with scars.

Why is the world so brutal?

Today.

Today I passed by the hospital
In which my grandma took her last breath
While I was sitting at home comfortably
Studying for an unimportant test.

Why is the world so brutal?

Today.

Today I learned that my cousin might get married
To someone, she doesn't even know
But what was I expecting
When her parents have got her under their tow?

Why is the world so brutal?

Today.

Today I realized that it's so easy to ignore someone
Asking for help
But it's so hard
To actually stand up for them and help.

Why is the world so brutal?

Today.

Today I was thinking about what happened
In all the other yesterdays
I can't seem to get it of my mind
How my life is breaking apart, but in the easiest way.

The world is so brutal.

-about-

written: july 11, 2021

I wrote this poem in the car when I was coming back from a relative's house. I saw these things that day and thought that I should write a poem based on these events.
The world is indeed so brutal. It makes you believe that there are so many nice things around you, when in fact that is all delusion and nothing else.
I am pretty upset that these things happen, and even more upset because our generation is the one instigating them.
There can be much more in this poem, but for now, this is all. If I ever see anything like this again, I might add to this, or make other parts of the same poem.

-anyways, thanks for reading, people!! do vote and comment if you liked it-
