long to know or just be clear. on the reason we're born and suddenly disappear. why we fail to live without regret. or adhere to the goals we willingly set. why no one desires something more. or utilises the knowledge we lazily store. too selfish to lend a hand where we are able.so freely we give the unknown a label. stand back and judge instead of helping her cope. not enough love to give another hope. so lets make a toast to a dying nation;a world despaired. while the weeping one will plead "but I cared."

i recently looked up the lyrics 'mad world' by tears for fears and it made me realise that this world is changing, for the worst! we need to become more altrustic and stop activities that are harmful to us or our surroundings.
