Why have things become like this <br />So many watery, painful tears <br />And blackened, sad hearts <br />In the youngest of souls <br />I wish all this pain would leave <br />And flee all the tortured souls <br />Infected by this deadly disease <br />But inevitably its here to stay <br />No matter what the lies say <br />No perfect peaceful tomorrow <br />Awaits around the nearest corner <br />No easy life will be given for free <br />We all must work for our easy life <br />Not taking for the me but for the all <br /> <br />What is wrong with today’s times, <br />Is we are so deeply focused <br />On the easy way through life <br />Instead of the right way threw life <br />And as we all should know <br />But have forgotten somehow down the line <br />That the easiest is not always the right <br />That’s why we have this pain <br />It’s all self-inflicted insanity <br />By our laziness and self centeredness <br />Learn how to live the right way <br />For someone other than ourselves <br />And pain would surly ease <br />And life would seek less poverty<br /><br />Britney Hogue<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/self-inflicted-insanity/
