I think it’s time to make it stop

What is wrong with us?

A society broken

Blind to the horrors they create

Ignorant to the pain

I read the news with a heavy heart

Stunned at the logic of some minds

Wondering what world they live in

Where it is okay to hurt others

Kill without thought

Torture without mercy

Destroy so easily

To take a life for what?

To prove a point?

I see none

To show you're right?

Yet all I see is wrong

To get revenge?

Yet you will pay too

Do you not see the consequences your actions bring?

The endless cycles

The loss of sympathy for your cause

The senselessness

You take a life

An innocent life

FOR WHAT?

A parking space?

Because somebody

Not this person

But somebody shot at your girlfriend?

Because somebody knocked on your door?

Because they happen to be a cop?

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH US!?!

Put down the gun

And walk away!

This is not the Wild West anymore
