Across oceans and seas,
children are dying,
crying out for their parents,
for anyone to save them,
because of our actions.
In our own country,
people are being beaten,
being killed,
simply because of who they love,
or who they are,
because we fear the unknown.
In our own towns,
families are being ridiculed,
or hurt,
because the color of their skin is dark, because we refuse to think progressively.
In our own schools,
students are being bullied,
being sexually harassed,
because of how they look,
act,
talk,
or because they are "weird",
because we turn a blind eye to what we deem that they "deserved".
In our own minds,
our souls are turning on us,
leaving us empty and numb,
whether or not we have a reason,
and the only way to feel again is to hurt yourself,
or die.
We as a society let these problems continue,
simply because we believe that we as one person can't do anything.
What has become of us with our awful actions and our fake fear?
With our old mindsets and our blind eyes?
With or without our reasons?
What has and what will become of us?
