Analysis of Change



I see a world so changed,
Emotions all seem numb.
I cannot help but wonder
At what we have become.

With violence and death seen daily,
Not only on our tv.
It breaks my heart and spirit
At what humanity can be.

But still every once in a while,
I see some goodness still.
Are there people without souls
Or is hatred what we will.
