State of Affairs

In our world there is malice.
In our world there are lies.
In our world there is envy.
In our world there are cries.
We run through life fighting each other.
We are constantly defending ourselves from those who would hurt us and use us.
We are all caught up is a struggle where we try to get what the other guy has.
We are always trying to gain the advantage.
In our world there is sadness.
In our world there are tears.
In our world there is madness.
In our world there are fears.
Why do we naturally mistrust strangers?
Why do we see a person’s faults all the time?
Why can’t we just be honest with one another?
Why do we kill only the good leaders—maybe they don’t fit the norm?
