Horrified
Fights over skin,
Fights over knowledge,
Bullies,
Robbers,
Those who don't respect.
Taking from others to feed greed,
Breaking spirits to throw away jealousy,
Expecting to see your ideas respected and praised, when yet you don't praise others.
And the abandonment of a house once grand,
The torture of a dog just because they ran,
Those who wish to escape,
The world which we know,
Humans who grow thin,
Wars that are fought within,
Those who let their children sit on a screen for years,
Those who let them bike on a main road without safety,
Horses underfed,
Guns fired,
Knives stabbed,
Screams,
Moans,
The world at its end,
None show beauty,
Because they are each truly ugly.
