Mad World

People just don't understand,

They don't see through to the pain.

Under the mask of a half-hearted smile

This world will go insane.

As the world goes on

And people fail to see.

The hatred in the world;

All pain and misery.

A TV turned on

with the news playing loud

still people walk around

With their head in a cloud.

Reality is nothing compared to

the rumors that go around

Reality is forgotten, laughed at

And pushed to the ground.

Drip by drip and drop by drop,

The rain falls from the sky.

Children left alone and scared

With no one to hear their cries.

Young girls feeling helpless

When just one thing goes wrong

People argue about little things.

Why can’t everyone get along?

With the bang of a gun, a shot is fired

And a life is lost.

Everything that happens in the world,

All because a line was crossed.

Still people don’t understand.

They still don’t see the pain.

People shouldn’t hide behind smiles,

Because the world has gone insane.
