The World We Live In

Fri, 01/29/2016 - 19:10 -- jlallen

The World we live in contains endless beauty,

though it's often obscured from the human eye.

Acts of endless violence and unfair judgement result in mutiny, 

yet time doesn't stop for a second; instead as we glance, it flashes by.

Stuck in a generation where loyalty is just a tattoo, 

it grows more difficult to trust the ones you love .

In a world where people are envious of you; 

you must look towards the stars and the heavens above.

In a world where people follow but do not lead, 

reality will beat you up and send you crashing to the ground.

This world we live in will force us to our knees, 

and if we all fall will no one hear the sound?

Don't return back to what broke you - what crushed every little bit of faith you had left;

just turn and look at the world which surrounds you, and prepare for the best.
