See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil

When we come across evil what shall we do?
Pretend it’s not there, push it out of our view?
If evil happens, let it happen to someone else.
This may feel cold at first, but eventually ice melts.
Is this the view that society shall take?
Shall we let evil prevail and good we forsake?
Do we turn our heads at the homeless and needy?
Become self-centered and selfish, teach out kids to be greedy?
Times have sure changed my faith is almost hopeless.
Making the world a better place should be our focus.
It’s o.k. to sell drugs, but using is bad?
With that attitude the cartels are sure glad.
Get people help and off of the streets.
Healthcare and medicine shouldn’t just be for the elites.
Nobody should have to suffer alone.
Mental health and addiction is a living war-zone.
A war going off inside of your head.
It’s only purpose to leave you dead.
Who is to blame for the drugs on our streets?
Why can’t it be stopped with all of these police?
Every single year thousands will die.
Because nobody dares to cut off the supply.
Legalize all of the drugs and bankrupt the cartels.
People are dying because of stray shells.
I hope we can change what just doesn’t work.
The world that we live in is going berserk.
