Thoughts and Prayers

and we talk
difference of opinion
and we talk
ways to save the children
and we talk
about the economy
and we talk
how to end anarchy
and then we argue
what we should believe
and then we argue
what is the American dream?
and then we argue
with names thrown everyday
pointing fingers each way
trying to find common ground
but it's the uncommon that is shaky to me
if guns are a solution
then why dont other countries
have the same problam?
if a life is a life in her belly
then who has the rights?
maybe it's a hypothetical
I rather go with the indisputable
who is a snowflake?
is it me for wishing for progress?
why is it rebellion to be a ignorent racist?
oh and the pandemic
I know
everyone's over it
but just a thought
we all wonder how the world will end
some say war
I say stupidity
FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY
GET THE FUCKING VACCINE!!!
stop making excuses
it might be a choice
but when it comes to saving lives
what's there to think about?
is compassion even a thing anymore?
like logic it went out the door
things I used to see as clear
are now things of the past
I tell myself to follow your own heart
do what you know is right
and try to forgive as much as possible
but when your surroundings
have become such a farce
at what point do you just want to throw up
at the people who you see as friends
at those who are family
as they make excuse after excuse
dont they see?
people die when we lie to ourselves
