we live in a cold world
where newly parents are victims of a hit and run
cowardly act by none other than a coward

we live in a cold world
where a teen's humanity was stripped
over $20 dad owed a thug
the humiliation
people just watched and did not become one nation
to do something about it

we live in a cold world
where homeless people attack civilians
for not giving them change

we live a cold world
where we still kill each other
over a pair of kicks
to impress who? chicks
she'll move on the next dude

we live in a cold world
where a woman pushed a guy off the platform
all because she hated a person of different desendant
yet society will view her as a typical peasant

we live in the cold world
where two little girls fought over candy
older teens inspire them to fight, that was dandy
they all got caught
decency was something that was never taught

we live in a cold world
where one gets killed over a look
what's the matter, you were that shook
shots rang
sounds with a loud bang

we live in cold world
your best friend smiles in your face
steal your significant other behind your back

we live in the cold world
where other countries are at a frenzy
bombing cars
killing tourists
threatening for another war over what? oil? supremacy?
it's not that serious!!!!! we need to be more open-minded with educational diplomacy

we live in a cold world
where kids are having kids
getting locked up for unnecessary bids
kids inject hatred
over what is posted on facebook
increase your vocabulary and actually read a book

we live in a cold world
where young people graduate
and yet, it's overshadow with showers with thunderous impact
of kids dropping out of school every 26 seconds
we live in a cold world
