Through My Eyes

Aids in Africa
Suicide in the middle east
Is it already too late
To tame this beast?

Nukes in North Korea
Death in Iraq
Even after Vietnam
Left us in shock

Kids having kids
Respecting no one
Instead of going to school
They turn to a gun

War in the streets
Education is a joke
Kids hanging on the corner
Lighting up their smokes

Homeless everywhere you look
Former war heroes
Condemned by society
And told that they're zeros

Fought for me and you
They deserve better then this
Now they've given up
And wait for death's kiss

Drugs and violence
Unemployment and welfare
There's just too many people
Who don't seem to care

Our future is dim
Unless things change fast
Or is it already too late
To learn from the past?
