What Happened

I sit back and watch the news
I shouldn’t be surprised by any of this
But the alerts make me bristle
Is this chaos real life?

Why don’t you believe
An accuser
Do you relate with 
The one accused

Maybe you can’t see it in black and white
Because you only accept the white
Maybe you can’t understand right from wrong 
When did humanity go wrong 

What happened to compassion 
What happened to decorum 
What happened to so called peace
What happened to all of this

What point in this do we lose 
At what point did Hope take aim for us and miss
I tremble and fear a missile
Tweets that could end my life 

This is more than you
Are you’re blind
If you are wrong
You’re in a bind 

Maybe you can’t see it in black and white
Because you only accept the white
Maybe you can’t understand right from wrong 
When did humanity go wrong 

What happened to understanding 
What happened to being kind
What happened to peace and love 
What happened to happiness

Maybe you can’t see it in black and white
Because you only accept the white
Maybe you can’t understand right from wrong 
When did humanity go wrong 

Who? What? Why? How?
When did humanity go wrong?
