People mock each other,
as if they are right and others are wrong.
People hurt each other,
as if they don't know the pain other people should bear.
People kill each other,
as if someone's life has no value.
People insult other people's religion,
as if they are sure they are righteous enough in front of God.
People hate others,
as if there's no enough hatred in this world.
People make joke over a tragedy,
as if laughing at crying people is fun.
People judge other people,
as if they are better than them.
People speak so sarcastically,
as if they know what others are facing.
People wish karma on people who hurt them,
as if they are so clean and sinless.
People steal something from others,
as if they are the only ones who need it.
People envy each other,
as if they never get enough.
People feel satisfied when their enemy falls,
as if they are so good that they won't ever experience that.
I just don't understand,
what kind of world we are living in?
Why do people become more and more wicked through the ages?
Please tell me,
what kind of world we are living in?
