There once was a time when I was little
I was cheerful and innocent
Sweet like candy and never had a problem with anyone

Then I grew up and learned about the word and it's intentions
Rape
Murder
Sexism
Angered feminist
Transpeople
Gays wanting rights
Abuse
Kidnaping
Suicide..
To many to name with so little time to type.

We are all human... So why do we hurt each other..?
At one point we were all young and free
Young and powerful
...
So why do we do the things we do to others of our own type?

We we're children at one point and we had no idea what the world would bring us.
But did you know what we did?
We had hope in our eyes with a bright smile and said "Bring it on!" Because we had no idea.
Is this a poem? I'm not so sure anymore, but it needed to be heard.
We. Are. human.
We. Aren't. Machines.
So why did growing up make us go colder?
