This is the world we live in
There are tears shed with sadness
Violence graced upon humanity
Questions we cannot comprehend
Why there is so much hatred
Souls on earth we call home
We can't even imagine how far gone
Only to have yet see again
One that was faced with a gun
Lives taken for a matter of fact
We call justice to the crime as an act
We torment the idea of love
Only to be lost in the world of hope
As one lays on the ground
Gasping for air yet silence is sound
We blame humanity for our mistakes
Searching reasons for our killings
This is the world we live in
Captured by diseases we can't withstand
People dying like no end
Tears for resurrection holding up hands
Please God hear our prayers
No one can even begin to understand
A war so far yet so close to win our land
The Superior always has a choice
Where one has nothing to rejoice
The poor struggling to survive
The rich that have you by the knife
Ones head just above water
Holding on to a day like no other
War in countries to be the greater
Fight with pride for which is stronger
Now which one is the greatest survivor
Only in war to be called a hero
Yet with fight who are we to blame
Aren't we all supposed to be the same
Abuse around the world with its severity
Even in our homes we so call our family
Creating pain and disbelieve in one's self
Only to tip toe around to not hit a nerve
Shattering personality for its distruction
Having to destroy lives for our nation
Children tormented by discrimination
Everyone is being labelled and handled through seperation
Where is one seeing in the eye of equal
Silence now becoming one's ritual
This is the world we live in
Today we still have racism
Today there are still killings in vein
Many lives living in real pain
Many lives played as if it's still a game
Lives lost for the ego is greater
How many more hearts have to shatter
For one to seek change in the world
For a change on this planet we call earth
