Now

Everything I understand points a finger toward destruction.
The world today,
teen's hopes washed down the drain.
Children starve while crack dealers of parents waste away.
Money's the only issue.
Life is no longer to be lived,
Life's lived only to die.
It's time to give a damn about the way we live-
Not just how we end.
One day to the next
One step at a time.
Less on the streets,
More hope in my child's eyes.
Pollution of life taken out,
with teachings of better ways.
Apologies and forgiveness
more caring and love.
People must learn to do this themselves,
instead of being spectators.
