What do you think this poem is about?

A Sad Fact

In the hope
that the world will become
a better place
we carry on

In the hope
that we will be saved
we carry on

It's sad but it's true
we are waiting for nothing
because only we can save ourselves
and only we can make the world
a better place

It's sad
but it's true

    It is indeed sad but true, it is all down to people to make the world a better place. Another good one from your pen Dave.

    when we have high hope, we may be sad, but people take it easy, when something is not that important! I agree with you that we have to save ourselves! Nice to read!
