'' Would You Not Do The Same '' Poem by Bri Mar

Our planet's a bubble,
Filled with rubble,
It's a constant fight to escape,
Every day brings even more trouble,
Yet we cover it up with a drape.

Conflict is rife,
As is the value of life,
Society is on the brink of destruction,
Yet the majority ignore our strife,
Could it be they relish the reduction?

Let them stew,
They'll get what they're due,
This attitude is now common place,
It's well seen they are not one of the few,
Frankly I'd call it a disgrace.

You start the fight,
Then turn out the light,
The consequences are then ours to endure,
You walk away saying, I'm alright,
Do you really see that as a cure?

Peace in our time,
Some see as a crime,
As economies see arms as money,
Are death and butchery really sublime?
You laugh but we don't find it funny.

Leave us where we're lying,
Ignore all our crying,
Close the borders becomes their answer,
Does anyone care fellow humans are dying?
Refugees some see as a cancer.

No need for a sleuth,
So don't be uncouth,
The facts may well bring on some shame,
Faced with our plight now tell the truth,
In our shoes,
