Pondering thoughts

The pain, the torture, the agony

I don't know how much longer

I can hold onto my faith and hope

I wish to leave this world, just disappear.

Smiling faces pass me on the street

and I have so much anger towards them,

thinking and wondering...who could be

happy living in a place like this?

A place where people judge others

because of their skin color or how 

they dress. Wooed by all the superficial

nonsense, and wool pulled over their eyes

so that reality can't be seen.

Am I the only one who thinks

that this world we live in is such

a horrible place? The filth, the hungry,

the rich and the poor...when will it

all end and there be no more? 

It's sad, depressing, but true

that we are all just like robots...

listen to what we're told because we're

too afraid to stand up for what we 

believe in, afraid of what will happen.

Our voices should be heard, our opinions

evaluated...but no one wants to listen.

They just walk about in their thousand dollar

suits, making this world an even more dangerous

place. 

When will someone speak up and say what

needs to be said? When will all this killing end

and people turning up dead? This is no place

for a human to live, in a world where people

give and give and in return get nothing at all. 

A place where the average joe, works his

or her little heart out. Where they come home

everyday just to see their children smile, and be

welcomed by their warmth and love.

But sometimes, that is not always enough

we need more than just our family to be

our inspiration. We need more faith and hope

in our government, and more trust.

But how is one suppose to do so...when

all they do is make matters worse? I fear for

my child what type of world he is going to be

living in, and I shouldn't have to.

I'm really at the breaking point of not knowing 

what to do, I sometimes feel like taking my life away

...but I know deep down inside that is not the answer

and would be a very selfish thing to leave my son alone

in such a cold and cruel world.

I'm calling out for help, I need someone to hear

my cry...is this what is truly meant for us is this

unending torture and pain? To be afraid to speak 

up against our government and unite as one?

I want to be able to be heard loud and clear,

but where would I start? How would one, like myself

make their voice be heard? I don't want to be in this 

alone, but I feel so vulnerable and afraid.

One can only dream I suppose, about a world

too perfect. At least a world where there wasn't such

horrible things happening like war, hate crimes, robbery,

money laundering, rape, human torture...why is it 

just too much to ask for a world where none 

of this would happen?

Why do people have to be such vile and hateful

creatures? But then at the same time, there are

those who truly care and love unconditionally.

But does the good in people, truly outweigh the bad?

Will we ever come close to having a normal society?

Or at least remotely? Or will it always be pain, torture, 

being hungry, poor, homeless? I just wish, wish, upon a star

that everything could be perfect, but it will always be hurtful.

I honestly don't know, and at this moment I don't really care,

maybe the best thing to do is just go back to worrying about

what's right in front of me, instead of letting my pondering 

thoughts wash over me and drive me completely insane and crazy.

Yes I think that's for the best,

yes indeed, that's exactly what I'll do

I will pull the wool over my eyes

just like all the rest of the world does too.
