How safe is our world?
Is a question for debate.
Consider the issues
And examine the facts.

The air we breathe.
Pollution.
The water we drink.
Contamination.
The food we eat.
Poisoning.

Natural disasters are increased
In speed and intensity.

War plagues the human arena
Where it shouldn’t be.

Peace and love
Seem only a notion.

Sickness and disease
Of epidemic proportion.

But really,
Just how safe is our world?

Some vexing and perplexing thoughts. Just keep your fingers crossed I believe you care. How can we awaken the world?

This poem really makes you think about things with a desire to make some much needed changes in this world. Really wish that things would eventually get better.
