I live in a world where the youth would rather stare at a screen,

Over watching the sun set.

A world that cares more about grades then learning, 

To the point where kids would rather cheat then admit they need to learn more

A world where we would rather praise the ignorant youth twerking,

Then appreciate the youth working.

A world where committing things that harm others help the wrong people,

And we praise the filth that committed the deed.

A world where kids would rather die,

because of a Christmas present with a screen and wifi,

Then live life to the fullest.

 

I live in a world where welfare checks

Go to stores like Gucci instead of the stomachs of starving kids

A world where the Kardashians get more attention,

 Then the Rodney Kings of everyday life 

A world where the nice guy finishes last,

That is if he isn't picked off by the guy that won the race.

A world that would rather spend billions on wars,

Instead of spending it on the millions dying.

A world that would rather make racist jokes,

Then put an end to racism.

 A world where an unloyal husband hugs his kids as a loyal father.

A world where I use the word "loyal" loosely.

 

I live in a prison cell where the inside is covered in markings that tell me I am free.

I live in a world where those that were once serving our country,

No longer eat full servings.

A world where we say "keep the peace" yet,

We can not keep what we never had.

A world where the uninformed send

The unwilling over seas to

Those unwanting of our "help" 

A world where the word "help" is a cover for ulterior motives 

A world where good parents bury their uniformed children

 A World where the seriousness of this poem won't reach out of this website

A world where I wish I was wrong.
