This World Poem by Maya Vania

Wars, illness, poverty everywhere
The earth is crying, does anyone care?
Violence, rapes, racism here and there
It can't stop screaming, where's our love to share?

When a fight is over, men start another
I beg them to stop, but they don't bother
They tell me I'm stupid, they tell me I'm dumb
I wonder, my friend, has your heart gone numb?

Useless you say, I know it already!
Do you expect me to stand and stay steady?
Look around you, or what's left of it!
Do you even care just a tiny bit?

If words can't reach you, what should I do?
Should I use violence, something taboo?
And what will you do, when everything's too late?
Will you blame me, for I'm not your mate?

I am trapped in a world where children can be sold
Surrounded by people with hearts ice-cold
Where they kill each other for piles of gold
Rotten and broken, this world once told
