Butterflies and Fireflies

As butterflies flutter and fireflies glow,
Our world makes its altime low.

Beautiful flashes light the sky,
Bullets and blood are wasted nearby.

Happy meals with family,
While children starve needlessly.

While joyfully playing with toys and a ball,
The only thing that makes someone "happy" is alchohol.

Enjoying a home and a warm bed,
While others would be better off dead.

Blood sprays after a loud BANG!
An unfortunate mugged by a gang.

Souls of the dead lighting the sky,
The stars still glittering by and by.

The souls of the dead lift to the sky like butterflies,
While bombs light the city like fireflies.
