[3] IS IT WORTH SAVING?

[03] IS IT WORTH SAVING?

she runs her fingers through her tangled mass of black hair

and blows smoke at the sky as if she's mocking it,

she lies back against the grass and starts talking venomously

of destruction and interstellar trips

far away from the earth.

is it worth saving?

this world where a boy has to love a girl

and a girl has to love a boy,

and if you don't, they say it's not love

and it's just a sickness.

is it worth saving?

this world where you hold one's hand

and kiss their best friend

and you're suddenly the cool kid

because you messed with

two girls.

is it worth saving?

this world where your body isn't yours,

it's everyone's but yours;

and you skip your meals just because

that person is slimmer and has a better figure.

you skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, cry,

skip, skip, skip, die.

is it worth saving?

this world where we slaughter

each other everyday as if our lives

depend on it. we drop a bomb

and end a million lives.

we separate mothers,

fathers, husbands and wives.

is it worth saving?

this world where this one book

governs everything.

we are worshiping an idea at best,

this book doesn't explain everything and

you cannot live by it.

those that died because of this book and it's rules

still go to heaven because there is no place else to go.

hell is earth.
