My cracked mirror reflects back
What I am along with everyone else
Confused minds have lead us to believe
That what we have was meant to be
But what have we done for this world?
Nothing but create a hassle
Why would creatures such as us
Deserve a chance to walk this world
Cheating, lying, secretly defying
[CHORUS]
We have now gone too far under
Too many cries destroying laughter
Hopeless lives are now contagious
This has become too outrageous
But who can decide this world's fate
Since all have fallen under a mind that's irate
Selfishness swarms all of mankind
Earth is being raped of its health and beauty
Other creatures that are deserving life
Are forced to suffer because of man's greed
Oblivious to everything
Man walks around destroying all that's left
No respect for anything else but itself
Not even their own kind
Not only do we destroy other walks of life
We destroy each other
What kind of heart is that?
[chorus]
We have taken life for granted
That is why all will fade away
All other life and earth too
Will be left dying by itself
We will owe all of this
To mankind
An evil, selfish mistake
Life wasn't meant to support
A greedy, destructive thing like us
Existence is a gift that we should all cherish
And things not even living cherish it better
We hurt more than smile
We destroy more than build
We take more than serve
We are the most worthless things alive
Why don't you all take a second to see
That all we are was not meant to be.
[chorus (x2)]

Very true, very real. I agree, though i would not say we were exactly a mistake, we are dangerously close to that. We destroy everything and everyone that threatens what we call civilization, exactly how does that make us superior to them? Very nice write, i liked it alot

| Wonderfully put! I don't think we were a mistake though, I just believe if we really paid more attention to the earth itself and less attention to our own selfish needs we could've made better choices along the way. Good write! ~R~ |

U r a kicken writer and that's a good thing. smile
Awesome writing.
I think most of us or some of us on this Planet have fellt this about what we see in the mirror. Unless a person is souless but that's another story. As individuals we all are too hard on oneself.
We must learn to luv God and he teaches us how to luv ourselves. Once one finds it's own inner peace then we can spread it around.
How do I know this? From experiece 'cause I too hated what I saw in the mirror.
It's a masterpeice as it changes the reader to look within themselves.
Keep writing.
luv, big huggs,
emy |

| like your style the last line very true we tear down but rebuild the wrong way. We dont need ten mini malls every two blocks or swiming pools when theres an ocean. Nature is slowly killed and we are the murders of it I feel the same way as this write very very good job |

Jodi this absolutely remarkable. You've written it with so much truth and sense. I also have to agree with emy on this one. Once we learn to like what we see in the mirror then we can make things on the outside better. It starts of within oneself. Brillant and outstanding. you've nailed this one girl.
Hugs,
Dreamer |
