Paper Thin Walls

Reality

It seems everywhere we turn darkness lingers

The people who make a difference are fading away

To be replaced by dark shadowed figures

It seems to be the age of death, and decay

Where the greats are dying young

And the tyrants are living forever

 What happened to us?

What happened to the days of young

Where neighbor helped neighbor

When you could trust your loves ones

When people didn't feel they needed to protect themselves with guns

What Happened To Our Values?

The ones that were pure, and whole

That didn't involve money, or social ques 

When our only pursuit was true happiness and the happiness of others

When we judged people by their character, not what they are

 Will it truly take a war to make people open their eyes to how broken this world really is?

I am not old, I have yet to see the world

But what I've seen is considered,"Good, and Whole"

If this is what "Good and Whole" is then what are we doing

People, cultures, genders, countries, family, friends, values, ideas

They're all fighting

Fighting a lost battle

A battle I fear will have no winners 

The world is being ripped apart by humanity

There is no more happiness

And there is no more hope

Only destruction and death

But we can change that, if we just try

Try to change our ways, the change the way we look at the world

But if I am the only one

Then this Earth, our home

 Will fade into nothing but Death and Despair.
