"What doesn't kill you, Usually succeeds in the second attempt" - MR. Krabs


I don't know how the world has become this awful place. Full of violence and racism what a huge disgrace. Hatin, killin, and beatin our brothers. When are we gonna learn that we have to love one another? These times on Earth are very short so why can't we live in peace and harmony? Somebody talkin stuff to your boy you bring a whole army?  Take one out *gun shot* Take out the other *gun shot* For something stupid, we lose another brother. *gun shot* Cops don't care about us anymore they shoot us down "oh it was self defense" he swore.  He knows that he kills because we aren't the same skin color as him. We should be worried about our troops that are losing limbs. I'm tired of the violence i'm tired of the crime. We have been together for a long time and we have come so far. But killing one another- Its just how we are.

Its Just how we are. Nobody is willing to help us. All we need is peace. But all we get is love one's lost. Its Just how we are.

They say that we will get better with time. *clock ticking* TIME'S UP! We need to do something now! All these dead kids on the news we can't allow. Innocent people who have done nothing wrong getting their brains splattered. We aren't doing enough to help these women that are being battered. Trouble is always going to be around but its up to us to help those in need. And as a state, a country a world, we can succeed. I don't understand why people hate each other. Deep down you are one and we need to love each other until our time on earth is done. But people are still going to do drive-by's from their car. I wish I could change it. But its just how we are.

It’s Just how we are. Nobody is willing to help us. All we need is peace. But all we get is love one's lost. It’s Just how we are.

We are always at war with our own kind. But we gotta stick together. Just by doing that you can make the world better. We are one. We are a whole. And together there will be no more bullet holes. But there's always that one somebody who has to jack everything up. I wish I could help and be a star. But I know. It’s Just how we are.

It’s Just how we are. Nobody is willing to help us. All we need is peace. But all we get is love one's lost. It’s Just how we are.

As much as you want to, you can't change how we are.

This is amazing! It kind of sounds like what was or still is going on in St. Louis with the riots and stuff.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

Seriously. I know I've repeated this two times, but it's so true. You really do have such a talent and greatness in you. You are awesome and talented. You. Just. Are. Sorry for the emphasis, but I just sincerely believe this. This is sad, but still phenomenal. Though, I know it seems that we can't change how we are, I sincerely believe that there's still hope. Thank you so much, for sharing this, my friend. Haha, I'm like one of your fans. I look forward to reading more of your work. :) Thank you again.
