Family
Family
How the tables have turned,
How the fires have stopped burning and consuming everything in their path.
Why is it that the world tells us lies,
Lies about love and kindness from our families!
Why is it that those who give life to us are those who also bring forth our death?
Why have the foundation and structures of lies and cruelty began in our own families?
We are what we choose to be,
That statement is the purest lie ever told.
We are what our families influence and mold us to be.
Killers and rapists are what there are because of there families and background.
They say charity begins at home,
Not only does that statement talk about charity but it also involves moral values and the type of people we become.
Families are the cores of hate the cores of selfishness!
Most people say we are born with all the emotions of the world.
Yes we are but families are what truly give rise to these emotions all the hatred and insanity.
