Taken For Granted
I see people go through there daily lives,
Taking care of each other as the days pass on.
But over and over I see one thing that makes me sad,
I see people taking others for granted and stabbing others in the back.
I see soldiers, who have gone over seas,
Just to watch there wife take another to her bed.
Seen first hand the hurt on there faces,
As the last person they trusted betrayed them for another.
I see men and women give there lives,
For those who believe they have nothing left to live for.
Hold there best friends hand in battle as he wished he wouldn’t died,
While their family’s were snug in there beds.
I see the best of friends tear each others lives apart,
For nothing more then a few harsh worlds.
Broken promises and half hearted betrayals,
While laughing and gossiping behind their backs with a smile on their faces.
What has to happen to make people realize what they already have?
Get them to open there eyes to how good there lives truly are.
To cherish the little things in life and not stress over the big,
Take each others hands instead of stabbing them in the heart and watching them bleed.
Trust, honor, and loyalty, is there such a thing anymore?
What do we have to do to get those things back,
What would it be like to finally be able to trust your neighbor?
Or be able to truly trust another with your life or even your heart.
