Forget The World



So many try and try
Others simply don't care
They still die
We the people are able to fight the evil
Instead we keep playing the game
Waiting for another sequel
People, children disappearing without a trace
Men sent to war
It's hard to comprehend the hardships we face
Only guarantee we have after birth
To one day be carried off in a hearse
