The World Right Now Poem by Tony Adah

Right now
It is not well with the world
In great tumult
Does it rumble
And in great tumour
Its people Live.

In all the variegation
Of its woes, man holds the blame
In his eagle eyes
In his lightning feet.

And now we are losing
The sweet things nature bestows-
A fresh earth
With its fresh air
A calm earth
With all that we eat

Sometimes man's fault
Never last to its end
As nature itself
Does spank our earth
On its fragile head
With ash and lavas
Of smoking mountains
Or soak it in floods of tsunamis
Or still clear it
With gales of hurricanes.

The world toils a lot
And gets double trouble
For every toil
Nature doles its portion
In the wisdom the world
Applies to its toils
But right now
All is not well
With the world.
