thoughts on clouds

I need hope

at a dark time like this we need some empathy
we need people to see people as people and not just company
we need hearts to break at tragedy and tears to shed at injustice
we need the whole world to stop in silence when a violation so wrong and so tragic occurs
not a minute
not an hour
forever
because the world is a dark dark place
with twisted and sick people
we're divided, a different race
different genders are different species
different backgrounds and different sides
of the same enemy lines we draw ourselves
and when they kill us we're surprised
there's so much pain so much sorrow
so much blood so many dead
my heart cries and cries and cries and cries
the tears don't stop coming because the tragedies never end
I'm scared for our future
I'm scared for my life
I'm scared at how passive we have become
Passive vessels watching massacres
blinking where tears should be
a quick moment of sadness between Breakfast and lunch
Is not going to change the world
we need hope
we need people to care
we need hope
