Pathetic Ways Of Life Poem by Sarah Shifflet

The way we live is pathetic
one minute we're drinking the next we need a paramedic
we go to parties expecting to have fun but we end up fighting and the party is done.
we do drugs to get high, knowing there's a chance we will die
we go through life not knowing the truth
beliving everything we hear on the news
we spend money like there's no tommorow
then when we need it for bills we have to borrow
we take advantage of others
totaly forgetting were all sisters and brothers
we stab out friends in the back
and treat them like they dont mean jack
we disrespect each other constantly
this is all nonesense to me
we dont see the evil in our race
we just act like everything's ok
but we cant go on this way
not anymore, we must change our ways
and not live for the future but live for today.
