We are shadows

The sun shines down upon this retched planet

why do we wake up in the morning

why were we created when all it seems

we know how to do is bring pain

Murder

isn't just another corpse on the sidewalk

abortion

a person who died young

rape

a girl or boy at the wrong place or wrong time

robbery

stealing peoples acomplishments

why were we brought her

 why can't we have peace

what happened to our species

to make us think we can do all these things

everyone are not these people,

but they can come from anyone

so why are we here

to struggle, to breathe, to grasp

I hope not, for that is not how I want to live

our people who won't help the homeless

who become one with greed

who step on those who think they are lower than them

who knows why we were set on this planet

but why can't we co exist with one another

live to say thy neighbor is not thy enemy

stride to walk away from a fight

and live to be happy and in the light

for if you touch the shadows you may never come

back from there alluring taste and empathy

for all those who have wronged
