I don't know

poem

The sacred word love, I only know of from reading

I don't know of the word joy, humans keep seeing

People let roots go deep, I never know why

Those will tear you up inside, leaving scars that don't show

We are divided, so innocents die, sadly people already know

Mankind's already at deaths door, it just needs another blow

Humanity's disregarded, with no intervention ensuing

No one knows the thoughts of society, that never stop brewing

Free will is given just by heavens choosing

Then gets judged along the way by what people start doing

The heart turns wicked in mysterious ways

It just takes a crippling loss that's too great

No one ever fails to underestimate the power of fate

About the Creator

Shalløw

Be the light others can't show, Be the water to the ones who can't grow, Be the friend others wish to know. Don't lose yourself to pain because it might never let go. 031
