What's Wrong With This World Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What's wrong with this World?

'Nothing but the people.'

What's wrong as it tilts and twirls?

'Nothing but the people.'

Why do the people sit...
Creating for themselves conflicts.
And doing this to permit...
Division and sickness.
Why do they escalate,
Their own pain to claim to hate.
Then attempt to blame their headaches,
On others of different faiths.

What is wrong with this World?

'Nothing but the people.'

And what's wrong with our boys and girls?

'Nothing but the people.'

Here it is twenty-sixteen.
Human beings are treated mean.
How did they get that way?
As if to feed on madness.
No one seems to be satisfied,
With their lives that God decides.
And everyone wants to be on top,
But flip-flop to do their bottoms.

What's wrong with this World?

'Nothing but the people.'

What's wrong as it tilts and twirls?

'Nothing but the people.'

Rain bullets down on themselves they do,
To prove they are entitled.
And protesters protest against,
To defend what's been quoted in Bibles.
But no one follows...
The truth.
No one,
Follows the truth to pursue.

What is wrong with this World?

'Nothing but the people.'

What is wrong with our boys and girls?

'Nothing but the people who deceive,
Truth.
Nothing but the people who deceive,
Truth.
Nothing but the people who deceive,
Truth...to do! '

What is wrong?

'Nothing but the people who deceive,
Truth.
Nothing but the people who deceive,
Truth.
Nothing but the people who deceive,
Truth...to do! '
