As the night passes me by
In a city full of lies
I sit and wonder why
Homeless children have to starve and cry

This world gets colder by and by
And fills itself with lies
An apathetic generation no longer asks why
Homeless mothers watch their children die

Images of sex pass me by
Billboards selling lies
And I sit and wonder why
Young men and women have to die

Reasons for war are skipped by
Covered by the government with lies
As a nation cries why
The truth is leaked on the sly

We'll find the turth by and by
And we'll still be left asking why
We're always told lies
About starving children who cry
Mothers who watch their children die
And men and women who fight to die

As long as there are those who wonder, there's still hope for us all. *S* Great thought-provoking write!

Thank you. I wrote it on the bus on my way home. Living in Las Vegas makes it difficult to not desensitize, so I try to observe and keep myself compassionate toward the issues that plague the world, and more specifically my community.
