Wake Up Call

It's painful here,
And getting harder everyday.
It just gets worse,
With no way to escape.

It's too late to change,
There's no turning back.
The future is ominous,
All grim, dark, and black.

The bottle is opened,
The beverage engulfed.
The sadness surrounds me,
It seems like I sulk.

A life was created,
Another was lost.
All because someone,
Didn't look at the cost.

To live in the moment,
It seems so fun.
Until that moment,
When it's dried up and done.

Too much is happening,
Way too soon.
People are beaten,
And locked in rooms.

We grow up with fear,
And sometimes hate.
But nobody listens,
Until it's too late.
