Change

We’re pushing for a change when we won't even take the first leap.
We’re striving for peace when we all still discriminate.
We want people to find love but hate against who they choose.
We still hate different races and people who have different beliefs.
Does it mean instant death if you want to be a different gender? Or if you’re a different race?
What about the rights we all so desperately fought for? Just forgotten? Left behind? No longer cared for as long as we get our way?
But what about all the good?
Shouldn't it out shine the evil in society?
What about a baby being born?
A child’s reaction to seeing a family member come home from being deployed?
What about happiness?
When you're jumping with joy because you see your best friend?
Or a babies first smile because they see you?
Yet none of the good is shown.
All the hate and evil and corruption is broadcasted.
Pain gets to shine in the light instead of joy.
How this society has changed.
Into something of unknown terror.
A silent battle between families just to struggle to live.
But, what if we did change?
For the better this time?
What if we showed happiness?
And left out a little of the pain.
Our world.
Our society.
Might become better.
