In a word full of hate-
How is it that love still exists?
When there is so much disrespect
Since nobody is looking for more.
Is the love we know even true?
When all people want
Is to walk all over you?
In a world full of lies-
How is it that anybody believes the truth?
When there is so much mischief
Since nobody does anything to stop it.
Are any of the words we know true?
When all people want
Is to get you in trouble?
In a world full of sickness-
How is it that anybody is cured?
When there is so little to be done
Since no one is willing to help.
Are the cures we have even true?
When all people want
Is to end up hurting you?
In a world full of chaos-
How is it that anything is simple?
When there is so little peace
Since everyone is focused on fighting and war.
Are the peaceful things in life even true?
When all people want
Is to break you?
~a.k.
