Good Poetry

A poem by Crystal Nguyen

Why do we never realize our mistakes? Why do we only learn when it's too late?
Local news will report this incident as just another case,
Come up with excuses like he wasn't mentally sane or how kids are so easily influenced these days
Give it a few days and you won't even remember his name,
Just another statistic - and so many people go the exact same way,
This is the world we live in,
It's such a cruel world, it's such a shame
