This Crumbling World

This Crumbling World
Every night I hear on the news
About how our world is crumbling
People die every day
But not like this
Now, just to add to the pile
Of our many problems
That have been swept into the corner
Our supposed to be best’s 
The people that rid our streets of trouble
And provide justice to those who grieve
Are taking lives themselves 
On top of our world crumbling
Anger bubbles over 
Just to push the mess over the edge a little farther
Night after night
Anger comes out
Tearing apart our world by its already wrinkled edges
Then
When morning comes to reveal to us
The damage from the night
Souls come out
Clean but bruised souls
That have taken a hit
But stood back up
These souls take punch after punch
 So anger can have its way
With our many creations and accomplishments
Just to prove the point of their misery of this world 
This crumbling, ripped up world that we have fought so hard to save
But maybe
Just maybe
With the help of these courageous souls 
We can sweep that overgrown anger and hatred away
Out of sight
Out of mind
So we can finally start to rebuild 
The mess that these souls tried to clean up for so long
