The World Today
Do you know the feeling
When your mind starts spinning
And you think you are not even living?
And then your whole world starts crumbling
And a voice starts shouting at the back of your head
Telling you to quit and it puts your mood on a dread
And than you wish you would rather be dead
Because this world we are living in today
is filled with stuff we don't need
but need to pay
Filled with hands clutching at our throat
trying their best to make us choke
Filled with fears which end up in tears
Making us sink so deep down
And unable to think
we blink
In the hope to not shrink
And in the midst of this turmoil
you start to think and you know there's more
Of how this world is so sore
Burning charcoals
Suffocating this blossoms on the soil
Which includes people
trying to live simple
Unaware that their troubles are being tripled
And in this moment I start to wish
Just like how Marthin Luther King started to dream.
I wish I could do something to change the world
more than just sit here and play with words
I wish I could do more than just shop at the mall
or browse my Facebook wall
I wish we would treat animals with care
because I cannot bear the thought to see them being slayed
I wish schools would teach us how to find our ability
Not to kill our creativity
I wish we would show more love to each other
Because love was the first thing we were thought
by our father and mother.
And before I end this confession
Let me ask us a question
What are we doing that's changing the world we are living in?
