peace cries out to me
as hearts {bleed}

where do we go from here?
our world's falling into disrepair.
living life seems to be the hardest thing to do
when people are constantly trying to take from you
[refusing] to love you
live for you
be for you
give to you

times grow more difficult
as deception and commoness
poison minds
everyone's living life for a dime

we are getting sucked into that 'fast' life
the so called 'easy' life
when in all reality life becomes
harder
the 'easy' path is stricken
with trials greater than before

selfishness, greed
and pride
outweigh and drown out
the cry for [compassion]

failing to acknowledge calls for help
too tied up in
living for self and no one else
ignorance has become our comfort
and we've allowed ourselves to fall into a trap of carbon copies
living amongst carbon copies
hugging the block
with a blunt and a bottle in hand
common statistics
this is what we've become

when will this mold be broken?
who will stop this hurt?
who will answer our collective cry?
when will we be heard?
