she was sitting all alone under the moonlit sky
she felt alone in a world so large
in a world that chose her to pick sides
in a world that forces her to close her eyes
for all she saw was murder, murder and all
she saw children running on the streets
and she saw mothers in taxis going on retreats
she saw parents arguing
and couples hand in hand
how lovely they looked in each others arms
she saw animals shot
with blood blots
she saw teenagers run away
she saw children stay and play
she saw children judged for who they liked
and elders ride their bike
she saw homelessness in all its kinds
she saw children starving
and parents wondering how they were going to get by
she saw many firsts
like a newborn baby
she saw teenage girls on the phone stating "why do they hate me"
she saw teenagers hanging from their fans
she saw girls dressing as guys and guys dressing as girls
she saw girls getting a new necklace of pearls
she saw men drunk as can be
she saw mothers wishing they could flee
she saw birds take flight
she saw kids in a fist fight
she saw everything everyone else didnt see
and she wondered
in a world that can only be
why is there no peace and tranquility?

- Comment from author about the poem: In a world so large, we don't exactly see the truth that is right in front of us. All we want to see is happiness and love, however all we see in todays light is hatred towards everyone. I hope this poem gives us a little bit of insight on the truth that we have not been able to find because so many of us are blind sighted by the facts.

All of us have seen what no human was ever designed to witness and the few that aren't blinded are task laden to share and stand up, but it isn't always easy. Good share. TFS.
thank you very much
