7 Billion (Wattys2019)

Balance

I wish I had the power

To make everyone happy

Because I know so many

Are not living their best

And I wish I could give

People who deserve more

Their Desires

Because I know their desires

Is just to have a warm house

Or a whole and complete family

But I cannot give so much

When I myself am still trying

To fight back the hopeless thoughts.

My eyes do not wander

And cannot see the outside

Beyond me.

I don't know so many stories

That could be told

And make me cry or realize

How dirty this world is

And how humankind is awful

And beautiful at the same time.

-Why is life so unfair?

................................................................

yes. We do create wonderful things like airplanes, cars, and we give love to our family and friends. But a lot of people out there are not being treated well, either by their race, gender or their beliefs. Why do we do this to them? Their misery is caused by other human beings who throw hateful words at them. 

I hope humankind can one day realize we should all have an equal and fair chance at life. No one should be treated differently! We are one BIG family and together, let's create a brighter future.
