Children cry deep in the night
Pain haunts them
The unseen and unknown
The used, abused, the forgotten souls
Too bad the world will never know
The world’s messed up, and people die.
Fallen words and broken lies.
Screams unheard and blood still shed.
Put the gun next to my head.
Pain’s too much, it refuses to end.
Too much hurt, can’t comprehend.
Blood drops, wounds heal.
It’s too much to try to deal.
Scars continuously growing deeper.
Nothing to waken the dead sleeper.
The weakest person easily looks strong
Cracks in the concrete – proof even the strongest break
Dirty faces, clothing shred
Pain in their unwritten song
Too bad they only wanted to belong…
The world’s messed up, and people die.
Fallen words and broken lies.
Screams unheard and blood still shed.
Put the gun next to my head.
Pain’s too much, it refuses to end.
Too much hurt, can’t comprehend.
Blood drops, wounds heal.
It’s too much to try to deal.
Scars continuously growing deeper.
Nothing to waken the dead sleeper.
Crying out in the middle of the night
Broken body left on the street
Blood pours out
The unknown child
To bad they couldn’t win the fight
The world’s messed up, and people die.
Fallen words and broken lies.
Screams unheard and blood still shed.
Put the gun next to my head.
Pain’s too much, it refuses to end.
Too much hurt, can’t comprehend.
Blood drops, wounds heal.
It’s too much to try to deal.
Scars continuously growing deeper.
Nothing to waken the dead sleeper.
Broken heart, broken soul
Blackened eyes, unseen
Calling out the pain continues
Life that’s gone, hopes destroyed
All that’s left, a Shattered hole
The world’s messed up, and people die.
Fallen words and broken lies.
Screams unheard and blood still shed.
Put the gun next to my head.
The world’s messed up, and people die.
Fallen words and broken lies.
Screams unheard and blood still shed.
Put the gun next to my head.
Pain’s too much, it refuses to end.
Too much hurt, can’t comprehend.
Blood drops, wounds heal.
It’s too much to try to deal.
Scars continuously growing deeper.
Nothing to waken the dead sleeper.

A dark but interesting poem.Lyrically it isn't bad either. As a dark poem it is subject to the usual stereotypes although this should not deter you from writing further such as this. You are right to recognise the evil which exists in this world, as a personal note I would like to say that in my belief this evil has its origin in man and his actions, but as much as the previous is true, there is also good in the world, which also stems from man and his actions. Good and Evil are in a constant state of balance in my belief, what is good without evil, and vice versa, the question which needs answering is not that there is evil in man, but how do we control it. Great poem, would hope that you would explore the subject fully and look into the positive actions man can make, which you may have done already, this the first poem of yours I have read. On an interest note I suggest, as I do to all good writers that if you haven't all ready read Wilde, you read Oscar Wilde. He was jailed in England in the late 1800s for two years as he was found to be a practising homosexual, and every last work of his is fantastic, not to mention his razor sharp wit. To leave with an example of his writing, from his Ballad of Reading Gaol "All men kill the thing they love, To all let this be heard, Some do with a bitter look, some with a flattering word, the coward does it with a kiss, the brave man with a sword"
Also if you want deep meaningful music listen to Simon and Garfunkel or Cat Stevens, seriously just listen to the "Sounds of Silence" and "Miles from Nowhere"

Love this! It doesn't suck at all.
Well written, I like how 'fluid', natural, and personal it seems. Emotional and the emotions are well expressed-- an enjoyable read, I'd love to hear it with a melody
