Questions

By Invisibledarkness

Why can a murderer rome free,
And yet a six year old die from cancer?
Why can people make fun of others,
But never really see the damage done?
Why can a woman that tries so hard to have a kid not succeed,
And yet someone that can abuse and rape their own?
Why is it that love and trust are so easily broken,
But in this world hate and greed are so abundant?

I can't answer these questions I ask myself,
But I can start working to fix this crazy world.
But not me alone,
Everyone can take the time to try and fix a problem.
But do we?
No...
Not most of us,
We simply sit on our asses,
And do whatever is convenient for us.
I say it's about time we actually try to make this a better place,
But I can't do it alone...
So I have one more question...
How about you?

    A little off subject but a quote comes to mind - "If you are not a liberal by the time you are 25, then you have no heart. If you are not a conservative by the time you are 50, then you have no brain". I hate labels, but do think the message is universal.

    Just had a discussion about this with my friend the other night. I wish everyone would stop the bullshit and put in a little effort for the better. Itd make the world a helluva lot better. Good write. Good meaning.

    I totally agree with you. If we ALL made small gestures, to change the world, our small gestures would turn into a big result. Thing is...we all think "I can't make a difference, so why even try" or "someone else will do it"...but few people ever do. Scholar
