Seeking Answers

I seek release

From the heart crushers

The news that kill

My joy and hope.

There is so much

Of evil happening

In the world today

I wonder if I belong.

I hear of people

Slaughtered

Losing their lives

For no reason.

I hang my head

In shame

When I think

This is my kind.

How do I face

Life tomorrow

As things only get darker

And evil prevails?

I realize

I have to answer

Only for my deeds

I gather myself.

I can speak

I can protest

I can stand up

For truth and justice.

But beyond that

I can do more

I can be positive and spread light

Live a life that inspires.
