Our World Is Crying

Hopefully it's a wake up call

How are we all still living?, this world is so corrupt

The way we see and treat each other, it's just so messed up

We judge each other by our color, or maybe how we're built

And no one is ever happy, until someone's blood is spilt

We know racism is an excuse, but we keep playing it's game

We're all too proud to be different, no one wants to be the same

We need to stand together, and fix the problems now

Or I can guarantee you, that we'll all be in the ground

This world will not be peaceful, until no one makes a sound

So where are all our morals?, that came from God above

Was the peace and kindness he provided just not good enough?

Why is hate the only solution, that we are ever given?

Is this really the kind of world you want to show your children?

The world that I grew up in, taught me everyone is equal

So in my mind there are no races, all I see are people

I don't care what shade of skin or gender you may be

White, black, orange, or purple; we're all the same to me

I know the world has the ability to think the way I do

I'm sure that you don't like the way that others may judge you

So instead of fighting back, how bout we just make a change

We can start a new race, and human will be it's name

Because if we don't the world we have will always be the same

So how does the world keep turning?, I think no one can explain

Because this world of ours is crying, only we just call it rain

You are a really great writer, but every now and then you write a line that I am completely amazed by. It reinforces the rest of what you are saying so well. "We can start a new race, and human will be it's name" and "Because this world of ours is crying, only we just call it rain". Really fantastic! Keep it up!

Just a thought ... I see A True Inspired Piece of Art here.
I myself could and would like to see it in just a little bigger print and separated in stanza for my poor weary eyes.
Ryan ....... You stole my heart by the Love you are.

This is amazing, i totally agree with you on everything here. Too many people are quick to judge, not just about race, It needs to stop before it gets even worse. You are an amazing writer love.

I feel the world today is disgusting by how judgmental our generation can be. It's beyond the level of understandable nowadays, I say. Like, I've heard some people who kick out their kids because they are "gay" or "bisexual" and all that, it's sickening to me...I live in a multiracial family since I am adopted, so I am used to being around people of different races and ethnicity. I feel it's such a great opportunity to learn about new cultures and people's journey's to this particular world such as ours, how they take our land and respect it better than we ever could, though we've lived here our whole damn lives. I don't know...I just feel everyone needs to really become more open-minded and not worry about such simple things like sexuality, cultural or relagious differences. We all wish for equality, but we all know it won't come easily...as a country we have A LOT to work on...we have a long way to go.

[David Burke]

Simplicity at its best. I loved the way you have captured in simple yet profound words.. Words that incites a silent resolve to do something, to stick to being human..

I don't know if I found it a little odd, but on line 17 in my opinion instead of we're all the same just 'all are same' would sound much better. It's just my thought, or maybe a lack of understanding? Would love to hear about that.

[David Burke]

Thanks lol I'll keep that in mind whenever I do my next piece lol and what would you like to hear about?

[Sarah Lynn]
