Worlds collide, leaving us fearful of the unknown.
That is the world of hope.
This is a world of despair.
In that world, we know what love is.
In this world, we can't even spell luv.
In that world, hate is thrown into the deepest pits of hell.
In this world, hate roams the streets of sorrow.
In that world, we kiss our sorrows goodbye.
In this world, we hold them close, and caress their back as if it were an innocent child.
In that world, we treat each other as people.
In this world, we treat each other as things.
In that world, evil turns away.
In this world, evil lurks like the darkness behind your eyes.

I know he is not doing anything. I just need to watch him.
I know he is not doing anything. I just need to watch him.
He is giving a me a dirty look, I should go up to him.
I'm so afraid to look away, Oh no, he is coming towards me.
He is running, I knew he was a criminal.
I run away because I fear what he will do.
Hit, Smack, Crunch. He is fighting me.
Hit, Smack, Crunch. I'm protecting myself.
I get my gun out to shoot, he grabs my gun to use it against me.
He pulls his gun out to shoot me, I grab his gun to stop him.
The pain of war, comes with the breath of demise. Can you feel the pain of the people before us, as you walk the ground brimming with soiled blood. Continuing to walk the grounds, not knowing what steps to take. One foot in front of the other, blinded by the words that attack the flesh. Blind to these feelings called love and hate. Don't know the difference between love and hate. Thoughts swarming in the minds of the people in that world. Thoughts dying in the minds of people in this world.
The question that we often times ask ourselves, is the question we are deeply afraid to answer.
Which world am I from?
