This old place!

Devon Bates 1980 (Norfolk)



A sad world!
Where the mentally ill and old are mistreated!
Where it's better to lie, cheat, and steal! Some of you do it and hide behind religion, even!
That does not make it right!
Money hungry evil people!
Even the earth screams, and it's right!
This is a place where some do all the work while others do nothing but steal from them and hurt!
A place where fame and fortune rule the land!
Nowadays instead of making peace the right way nowadays people flock into groups for what they can get!
A horrible place, only the bad wouldn't say!
This place has taken everything from me and in return gave me it's hate!
So you proud people evil people, death to you every day!
A real human can only take so much before the pressure causes them to break! Forget your every wish to even be, or, exist!
I despise this world and all of its ways, even then!
