for whatever reason lessons are not being learned
the temperature was going down fast
but nobody seemed to notice
instead all eyes were focused
on the smoking gun
it doesn’t take long for word to spread
it’s the world we live in
I cringed when I got word
what happened in broad daylight
the world has got to get better
it just has to
I keep telling myself
but then this happens
and then that
and suddenly I find myself
more fearful than before
