Signs Of Defeat Poem by Melissa Caron

I'm lost in thought
True sincerity cannot be sought
Feeling broken hearted again
In serious need of a friend
I keep on searching, failing each time
All people seem capable of, consists of crime
Love, love usually ends up breaking our hearts
Families consistently become torn apart
What is this world coming to?
There is no safe place to run off to
Priests turn around and rape a child
Then, police arrests teenagers for acting wild
Gun shots fire off in daily crime filled streets
Poison is handed at children's feet
Lovers, they lie and cheat
Then grin at the personal signs of defeat
At night I often rest my head to cry
Wondering why, I wish i could grow wings and fly
far away, I dream of the day
Where in love is where, people stay
