What Has Happened to Our Society?
Poems from a Young Mind
The Earth that we live on is crumbling down
people are crying and people are dying
we can’t even go to school without it getting shot down
what has our world come to?
People are getting bullied because of their religion and race
what gender they like is now a case.
Why does it matter what others believe in or who they have feelings for?
There are children in schools laying dead on the floor,
school is labeled a “safe place”
and people are still getting judged for their race,
all the same bone structure and blood flowing through our body,
we all walk the same Earth and people are still labeled “nobody’s.”
People throw their garbage in the ocean killing sea life,
and why is a knife only thought of as a weapon?
Teens are hooked on weed to take away the pain,
little do they know if there is even a grain of fentanyl they are gone.
Long nights of partying and drinking just to distract you from thinking,
Our world is ending, and I’m not sure if it is preventable,
so take care of yourself
and say “I love you” to your mom
because one day we are all going to be gone.
