4 Million

By maliceman

4 million sighs I have sighed in my life
Yet no one will cry on the night that i die

4 million scars on the arms of the misunderstood
Riddled with guilt, and thought of as no good

4 million soldiers have died in our wars
The greed of our leaders, fighting for more

4 million children dying at birth
Too many unfit parents live on this Earth

4 million granules of sand in the hourglass of time
We live and we die, no reason or rhyme

4 million dreams that never came true
no entity surrounds us, and we don't have a clue

4 million voices all chanting along
4 million who know this world has gone wrong
