Pain?!

Is this what Alice saw in the looking glass?
Torture, rape, and death?
Did she see dead grass?
People overdosing on meth?

Did she see the world so messed up?
Are we the other side of the glass?
Are we made up?
Are we as mad as the Queen of Hearts through the looking glass?

Are we as ignorant as tweedledum and tweedledee;
Are we players on a chess board?
Are we as scary as the Jabberwocky?
Is our creator scared of us, Our Lord?

Are we the scary monsters Alice sees?
Are we as strange as the walrus and the carpenter;
Out by the sea?
The walrus and the carpenter;
The walrus and the carpenter;
The walrus and the carpenter;

Are we crazy like the Cheshire Cat?
Are we mad?
Is the source of madness in the Madhatter's hat?
Are we crazy..? Maybe just a tad?
A tad..?
A tad..?

We are God's creation;
Is he hiding from us?
Maybe he isn't in alleviation;
For the creation of us;

Are we insane?
Are we not well?
Are we so mundane?
We're all most likely going to hell;

Is that what Alice saw?
On the other side of the looking glass?
Did she see the end of humanity?
Can we return to the past?

Can we save ourselves from our humanity?
Can we change for the good?
Can we change so abruptly?
I don't think we could;

Will we truly go insane?
Will we digress?
Why is there so much pain?
Pain?
Pain?
Pain?
Pain?
Pain?
Pain?
Pain?
Pain?
Pain?
Pain?
Pain?
Pain?!
Pain?!
Pain?!
PAIN?!

    i really didnt feal this one. I think the reapeating word of pain at the end throws off the poem i think it would be better if you decreased the number of times repeated. its good and i love the way you describe things it just didnt catch me im sorry

    I love this! The ongoing question of what this world has become. I love how you connected this with Alice in Wonderland, very creative and effective. Great write, keep it up!
