Look at your life, you're free and alive,
But what if you weren't free and about to die,
Would you stop and reminisce over things of the past,
Or would you try your best to make your final days last?
You complain about boys and your 'big' waist size,
But some kids would kill for a single bag of fries.
They're starving and hungry but you don't go without,
You're too busy focusing on you're unnecessary self-doubt.
Pretentious politicians sitting on the country,
Corrupt governments everywhere focusing only on money,
But you don't know about the wars and the battles from hell,
Too busy booking a flight to your next fucking hotel.
Uncaring and biased and filled with shit,
But these children know different and how to take a hit.
Rape and abuse and many other offences,
Go unnoticed 'cause you hide behind your pathetic defences.
So open your eyes to the sad sad reality,
And for once don't think about your own personality.
Be grateful for all of your family and your friends,
'Cause some people's lives are nearing their ends.

Book of Poems
PoetryPoems that I write whenever I feel like it, they tend to be rather melancholy and thought-provoking but if you enjoy that sort of thing then feel free to read them. There may be the odd one that is not sad but I hope you still find them entertaining.
