Aware?

Is everyone aware? Is anyone aware?
Aware of the death and pain
Felt by so many
Do they know the hurt and grief
Held by so many
The world in which we live
To busy to slow down and see
See the violence and hatred
Tearing people apart
Words and bullets fired without care
Care for whoever they may strike down

Is everyone aware? Is anyone aware?
Aware of the sick and blind
Left alone to die
Do they know the horror that
Grips the people now
The world in which we live
Self-absorbed and self-conscious to
Notice the ones dead and gone
Taken by careless acts
Of others that have no care for
For the innocent lives that live

Is anyone aware...
