That's Life (Green Grass, Blue Skies) Poem by Axley Jade Blaze

Green grass, blue skies
Afflicted people, tragic Goodbyes
Murky days, destitute nights
People dying, violent fights.
Frightened kids, scared moms
Divorced parents, lost bonds
Starving children, bloodthirsty thugs
Innocent victims, kids with drugs
Religion? —a disaster, Unvarying crime
Shot of a gun, every night at the same time!
Confounded youth, imperious adults
Child abuse, a planet with countless faults
Merchandising drugs, peer pressure
Spreading AIDS, prostitute pleasure
Daily abduction, victims of rape
So much pain, few ever escape
Turning to suicide, ending a life
Psychopaths everywhere, blade of a knife
The torment of loss, a broken heart
Agonizing love, being ripped apart
Homeless people, the agony from hurting
A love child, so many uncertain
Rage-filled teens, unstoppable STD's
Ashamed heritage, so many wannabes
Sibling hatred, dangerous obsessions
Opinionated critics, unwanted suggestions
Disloyal family, betraying friends,
As today begins, yesterday ends.
Despondent tomorrow, doubtful future
Demolishing one's mind, through sickening humor
The never-ending malady, too much disease
Does it ever stop? Someone tell me, please!
Animal torture, a newborn's cry
Abandoned infants, do we even try?
Sleeping around, Simply for lust,
Deceitful lovers, losing all trust.
Breaking the law, getting away,
Courtroom injustice; it's the victims who pay.
Who is wrong? Who is right?
Criminals admired? Have we lost sight?
Broken families, few who pray
The uncertain outlook, getting by each day.
Forgotten morals, money hungry fools
Disgraceful greed—those who use.

So many questions,
Yet so few answers
The wanting to know;
It happens much faster!
When did it happen?
How did it start?
Who is to blame—
For letting our planet fall apart?
