Our World

Our world. It's true.

I think about the days that go by
And how so many people have died
But you have to admit
We're a society full of violence
A world full of hate
Don't you think its just a little too late
To change it back to how it use to be?

When people cared
When people swallowed up their pride
When drugs weren't invented
And peoples hearts weren't dented

When people actually loved
And didn't take others for granted
Sometimes I wonder
If this is what it'll all come to
In the end

Tragedies rule our world
From The Jewish Holocaust
To 9/11 when the twin towers collapsed
And then there are things around my city
To the Columbine Killings...
And now the Tech Shootings...

Who said people learn from their mistakes?
Because they don't
They just repeat themselves
Just like history will
Over and over
And over?

I wonder if they'll be a day
When everyone loved and got along
Because it just might be
A little too late

But I believe in a little thing called hope
It may not change the world
But it could change someone's heart
And I believe in a little thing called love
I believe that it'll someday out rule hate
And change the nation

Yep. That basically wraps everything up. Any thoughts?
