Silent killer

How can this go on without anyone objecting?
How long must injustice reigns?
Hope is gone...

This is clearly wrong. Even children can point that out.
What makes us hold our tongues?
Experience?
Wisdom?
Fear?
Money?
Sanity?
No, how can this be?
We are no match for children!

So now what. Should we teach this "way of life" to children since young then?
Follow what others are doing, even when it's dead wrong.
Tell our children that mistakes should be kept a secret and when leaked out, cover it with excuses and when that doesn't work, find more excuses.
They will get higher praises if they can believe in their own excuses so hard that they believe it's true and not a lie anymore.
Ask them to worship the rich and powerful as they're always right.
Urge them to get rich so they can get away with anything they do, and I meant anything!
Why waste time sending them to school?
Why waste time teaching them moral?
Why waste time guiding them to differentiate right from wrong?
When you are not practising it yourself.

It's not all about money.
It means much more than that.
If everyone just voice out and make a change,
Things will change for the better.
It won't turn out like this.
We've been teaching the young.
We've been singing songs of a better world.
We've been urging people to do good deeds, recycle, donate.
But what's the use when we never start from ourselves?
We keep quiet when things are wrong.
We go along with the flow, thinking it's none of our business so shut up.
You know how much damage can be done just because everyone zips their mouths and "mind their own business"?
You know how much it hurts in the end?
And it wouldn't be you. The effect of it will be felt deeply by someone innocent.
This is the world we live in.

Still.
I still hope.
That miracles would happen.
All will be fine.

How long more must injustice hurt me?
Hope is still there
I believe.
Hope's always there.
I just have to find it and grab hold of it.
To make a difference.
To bring light to a world so dim.

I hope...
