Why does the world hurt?
I look upon others, and I see all the hurt
I tell myself that it’s gone; but that is an outrageous lie
Why are they still hurting; I ask myself.
My parental instincts go forth to thee;
And I try to protect those that hurt by feeling their pain for them;
but if anything they writhe in agony more.
Why do people have to hurt other people?!
Why do adults hurt children? Why do adults hurt adults?!
Why do some not have morals in their lives…
I read all of the pain and suffering
I read of all the murders and crime. I hear of all the struggles.
I cry and pray. I cry and write. I write.
I must stop bad things from happening.
I would be a martyr to this cause; but how would things get better?
Humanity simply would have another child abduction tomorrow; eclipsing my death.
And so life continues; but I never forget
The faces of those in worldly torment. The faces in pain.
The faces that shout for me to flee
The faces of those that need a friend
The faces who need an ally; an adult on their side.
The faces that I am still among
The faces who I was born to help.

I feel the same. I think personally that those who abuse children should be killed or put in solitary confinement in prison for life. Nah they should be killed. Brutally.
Love will fix the problems. Hate will only pour gas on the inferno that is our humanity; Love will put out the flames.
I WISH I could solve it with hate and murder; It would make it so much easier.
We need stronger laws; but we also need better social services and therapy programs that are subsidized.
We need the love of others; we need the love of peers and strangers before we hate them due to not fitting in.
When the world is at it’s darkest, when the die is cast and the cards of the evil, apathetic and ignorant are cast: Only the love of others can stop it. Only love can.
Molesters deserve to die by being cut everywhere with paper cuts and drowned in rubbing alcohol. Along with all abusers who use their own abuse as children or problems, or alcohol or whatever as an excuse to do what they do.
But we can’t do that ourselves. We can only love others ourselves; train our kids to love everyone, and donate money to programs designated to help.
Love will save us.
the word hurt
Thank you for writing this. Everyday I struggle with wanting revenge but I would end up in prison. But if there was a mad sick dog it would be put down.
I try and focus on all the kind people. I know they are out there, like you sound to be and others on this site. And animals cause I love em. But sometimes I fight the devil. And if I see anyone hurting anyone I will try to stop it. And no one is hurting me again. Ill kill them first. And I’m a very peaceful person but I’ve had enough.
I like what you’ve written Henrydavid. Lots of people don’t deserve to be on this earth. You don’t hear them talking about suicide. And it’s the kind lovely people on this site contemplating it. Everything is so messed up.
I’m not really a pacifist.
I’ve wanted to kill others for what they’ve done.
Not in my life; but in my best friend’s life. Her Stepfather and Father.
And to a lesser extent; her mother. As well as her Exes.
They all hurt her. All of them. Every single one.
I want them to die. But I can’t do that.
I can only love her and support her; and show sympathy.
The faces who I was born to help.
And yet I am still among them.
The only thing keeping me alive is the fact that my friend would be devastated.
If I did:
I’ll be tried as an adult and most likely in jail for the next 30 years; but I’ll be free.
