Ugly World Poem by Fareez Phalez

There is no more love in this world
And I've no more faith in humanity
Since hell broke loose on earth
I no longer wish for eternity

Too many lives lost
Catching bullets from a gun
And it seems the Middle East war will never stop
True are the words from the holy Qur'an

Poverty becomes forever
Like a curse since birth
Clearly God doesn't care about riches
Selfish people show their worth

Drugs have always been a problem
Destroying people's lives
Causing financial issues
Depressed children and abused wives

The world is just too ugly to live in
And God forgive me cause I'm wrong
For I've been contemplating on dying young
Since I was fifteen, I don't want to live long
