Two sides to each coin,
Two opinions to each story.
The verdict is that you're a sinner,
But who is your jury?

How long will it be before the world will realise
That there is no progress
Without satisfying the oppressed cries.

Two sides to each coin,
Two opinions to each story.
We all bleed the same crimson,
So why is there a biased glory?

How long before the terrorists will realise
That killing innocent people
Won't get them to paradise.

Two sides to each coin,
Two opinions to each story,
Do you really think all the harassment inflicted,
Will fade away with a simple sorry?

How long before the society will realise
That we are humans
But the humanity within us still needs to arise.

i usually never write things about our terrible world because i'm selfish and i only think about myself but somehow i felt this was kinda important.
also, i tried to address a different issue in each stanza (in case anyone didn't understand):
victims blamed wrongly - 1st stanza.
corruption - 2nd stanza.
racism - 3rd stanza.
terrorism - 4th stanza.
domestic violence - 5th stanza.
bullying - 6th stanza.
