people are dying
but i need help
the world is devouring itself
but i cant save myself
oceans go flat
but im oblivious to that
mountains sink lower till becoming dirt
but i dont become the only one hurt
everythings falling away today
but if i just close my eyes
to the my lonely insides
maybe it would all go away..
and leave this
another victory
for shattered pride

Hey, I can erally relate to this one.....sometimes I feel so guilty, being wrapped up in my petty problems, when others are dying, the world is dying....**sigh**

Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices.

Yeah, I'll get worked up over a bad day, but never stop to think of all the people in this world who have bad days every day, because of things they can't even control.
And hungar, disease, war? But even so, don't we all at some point forget the world and think of ourselves? It's not good, but don't we?

Very well written, Jackal. So much emotion in so few words.
