Closer To Home(Unfinished)

A poem about tragedy and catastrophe. when you hear it all over the news and as it continues to happen you soon start to feel like it is getting closer to home. start to feel threatened and concerned

It feels like tragedy has gotten closer to home
Darkness expanding, invading our comfort zone
Most people distracted. Unaware of all that is wrong

It feels like tragedy has gotten closer to home
Some days i feel as though i am all alone
All this evil exacted on us for so long
Feeling inequal, feeling so wrong

I feel like these tragedies have gotten closer
And for many of us the fight is far from over. We continue
to grow older. To see the dishonor. Believe it's a goner
This disorder
