Look at the world today and tell me what you see <br />Lies, pain, suffering <br />Horrid crimes, hate, sorrow, grief <br />Look and tell me if this is right <br />What we put others through for our own enjoyment <br />Is this right <br />Or are we just to scared to face the fact <br />Are we that dependant on our past <br />That we cant see what we do is wrong <br />Look at what the world is coming to <br />A place where none of us feel safe being ourselves <br />A place where the general, the norm take over and nothing is created <br />We are at war everyday <br />Not with a country <br />But with ourselves <br />The opposite of war isn’t peace <br />It’s creation <br />Look at what we’ve done<br /><br />Colin Burger<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-world-today-11/
