I turn on the TV and what do I see
Tons of disasters blaring at me
Murder and rapists, bombs and attacks
What in the world can I say about that
I turn on the radio, the news is the same
Everyone’s fighting and placing the blame
The world's in chaos, society's a mess
What can we do, I can't even guess
I open the paper and read the news
Kidnappings, riots and priests accused
Blizzards, hurricanes, tornados and ice
Heat waves and droughts, it’s not very nice
Ozone depleting, rainforests too
Animals hunted until but a few
Earthquakes, tsunamis, eruptions and more
How on earth can we take anymore
Raging wildfires blaze out of control
Each devastation is taking its toll
Corrupted world leaders, children in crime
We're killing ourselves a bit at a time
The world, the people, no one cares
My heart it breaks, my soul it scares
What can we do about all this madness
Fall deeper and deeper into the sadness
Wonderful rhythm and rhyme - a contemplative write on what our world has become. Kind regards, Justine
Good control of rhyme-I'm envious. Excellent summary and commentary on the state of the world.
