Broken World (short poem)

So much hurt,
Everywhere you go.
It's written on your face
And seen in every place.

It's seen in the child,
Even the meek and mild

It's seen in the teen
Who tries not to be seen

It seen in the eyes of someone who lost another in death
And feel like, in life, there is nothing left.

It's seen in the animals that are homeless
And seeing this makes humans feel hopeless.

It's seen in the past
And that its consequences still last.

It's seen in the woman who is beaten and abused.
She feels hurt, pain, and is used,
Knowing that if she fights, she will lose.

It's seen in the man you see drinking in the bar,
You wonder what led him to go this far.

It's seen in the world that we live in everyday.
We watch the suffering go on and don't do anything to make a change.

So much suffering, everywhere you go,
How did we ever get this low.
