Wishful Thinking
January 16, 2015
It seems as though I'm drowning,
When I'm surrounded by hard ground.
The whispers of innocent people
Are screaming all around.
Where is the peace so longed for?
Has it wasted all away?
"Please let the violence end,
and let us live as one" I pray.
Nothing is impossible,
But it's getting harder to believe.
This image of a perfect world
Is beginning to deceive us.
Life is too short to worry,
To be unhappy or to pout,
And someday, maybe someday,
We can force all this evil out.

All of the chaos going on with race, war, and violence inspired me to write this piece. Our voices on these problems need to be heard, too.
