What I See

it's bloody
it's red
it's something that even rose colored glasses can't fix
it tears families apart while forcing some together
this epidemic is affecting each and every one of us whether you like it or not
this epidemic has no cure,has no vaccine
my friends, this is war.

Peace and happiness seems like a unreachable utopia
Peace may not be something that all of us are looking for
Peace does not sell
Peace does not make people want to watch the news
Peace does not always encourage "innovation" whatever that word means nowadays
Peace does not bring power
my friends, we have settled, we accepted that this abstract concept of peace is a time we are not paranoid about what goes on in the world around us.

if there is a winner and a loser, a war was brought on
if we have the constant worry of competition, we are prepping for war
we as humans are never satisfied
we was a society are greedy, lustful, gluttonous, envious, prideful, vengeful, and trifling.
will there ever be a day when we can all join hands
will there ever be a day when we can see with our hearts and not our eyes
that is a question that even the God Almighty may have a bit of trouble answering.

because of this thing called perception, we judge
because we as individuals are all unique, we judge
i wish that one day, our gluttonous appetites may be satisfied and hopefully that day comes sooner than later
