I feel the world is tearing at the seams

I feel the world is tearing at the seams

A Poem by starrynyte

 i feel the world is tearing at the seams
everyday some new disaster meets me at my doorstep
everyday a new terrible beginning greets me with my alarm clock
we are taught to live for the day
as americans we are taught to live for ourselves
but what happened to the greater good of life?
where has all the kindness gone?
lost are the days where someone could actually walk on the street without being hurt
lost are the days when another person's life meant more to someone than their own. 
broken down, hurt, and abandon is the future. 
no joy, no hopes, no dreams, no life await the upcoming generation
only disappointment and torment.
betrayal will follow them with their every step. 
no forgiveness, no smiles will be seen.
only distrust and rage among the merry men of earth.
today will be the last day God will ever see a joyful soul.
today will be the last day heaven is free for us all
too much bias and weakness fill the hearts of the men who travel on God's green planet. 
too much unwillingness to help another soul. 

i say stand up now and raise your hands high before its too late.
i say follow in his word and don't let anyone tear you from His pathway
lead your own life
don't let lies discourage you.
be free and be kind
be williing to live a life He will be proud of.

Nice use of repetition! I liked it a lot. Very well-written! :)
It's so true how everyone is so self-centered these days.
No one really cares about society or nature anymore.
We need to change this, as we are the future of this world.

Again, great job.
