Analysis of So Much Darkness In The World Today
We live in a time of darkness. In a world that cries out for HELP!
The people are scared, there are no places to live, no jobs to be had, and no money to provide for families.
Children are crying out for HELP! Crying out because they are hungry, not just for food but for love, to be understood, for passion, for kindness, and to be recognized for who they are in this world.
There is violence raging out of sadness, and confused minds no were to turn to, no one will listen to what they are crying out for.
Our world is overgrown with violence in the media, video games, and war. We cannot escape the violence that has plagued our human minds.
Violence screams out at us from all sides of our life. There is no escaping this epidemic that has plagued our world.
The sounds of guns blazing by us, blood raging like rivers flowing of red.
Our world is confused, disoriented, and a lost race of homeless, hunger, blood, and most of all peace among all nations.
As you can see we are in a time of darkness.
