Madness Reigns

What has happened to our country these days?
I've never seen such division and hate.
Everyday, on the news you can see,
the violence that's been going on as of late.


Attacks on people because of their race,
graphic violence, worse than I've ever seen.
Death himself, seems to wander the streets.
Sadly, no surprise, it's become so routine.


A couple, pulled from their car and shot dead,
their children will grow, with no parents to lead.
People attacked for no reason at all,
without intervention, in the streets, left to bleed.


Must we put up with a world gone amok?
Chaos and bloodshed, by people deranged?
The violence must stop before we implode
and be left with a country irreversibly changed.


Spice up your life by affecting some change,
joy is what we need, not this endless hate.
Our current government turns a blind eye,
demand they take action before it's too late!
