Signs of the Times

Lying
Stealing 
Cursing out family
Hitting
Abusing
Are things common of this time
Killing for any random reason
Is a issue we all encounter 
Going to sleep wondering what the next day will bring
Will it be filled of bad things 
Having no sign of respect
Is a issue we all see
But why can't we live in harmony
Having no individual affection
Affects us no matter how small or tall
Low self esteem
Well you know what I mean
Not feeling good enough
Or worthy to be here
Can lead to a dark life
Police brutality because of a skin color or other reasons
Which is not right
This leads everyone to cry and fight
Killing for not believing in your religion 
Which is crazy to me
Because religion is supposed to bring peace to life
So why does ones feel so much strife
Let's try to rise against all the issues 
Because these are the sign of our time
