Cruel World

What's happened to the world we used to live in?

When I was younger,

I believed the world was good,

oh how wrong I was.

Growing up, 

I was blind to the cruelty,

now I've finally realized, 

the world is turning corrupt,

children being kidnapped,

revolutions,

the bloody wars,

yet no one speaks out.

We need to all stand up,

never back down.

It's time again for us,

THE PEOPLE,

to stand together, 

and gain back what is rightfully ours.

They've deprived us,

of our speech,

for if we speak out against them,

we are called a traitor,

and we're sent to our deaths.

Open your eyes,

and see how cruel this world has,

BECOME.
