World gone mad...

I look out on the world
and what do I see
The mass populations gone mad
and Its not helping me

To many people
and not enough food
Poverty all around
with very little help to be found

Pollution everywhere
a majority that dont really care
Its all about the money
raking in the honey

Crime is running rampant
with out a means to dampin it
Prisons crowded,murder without care
what to do,so common everywhere

Cruelty to children,animals,and people
thats what I'm seein,thats what I hear
Terrorism is spreading out
like a disease,spilling tears far and near

Guns and weapons,far to many
in all the wrong hands
Created by some governments
so thats the way It stands

Where has all the love gone
smothered by the need for greed
Wealth in the wrong places
held by the folks with high statice

The oceans are a dumping ground
million of trees and jungle
Clear fowled every day
animals caged or slaughtered in dismay

The planet is warming up
and we all point the finger
Saying It wasn't my fault
well we all need to grow up

Hold our hands in the air
and say,hey I care
Show some love
make it a better place to bare

Very well said. Unfortunately there are always those who do not care about the present and future population but only themselves and the here and now. It has been this way since the beginning of time and will be I'm afraid until the end of time. Evil run rampant. Thank you for being someone who cares.

libralad all true good poem. I think whilst we are young we just live life and when we get older we actually look at life, it can be a bleak look at times.teddybear

Two songs come to mind, Tears For Fears Mad World and Michael Jackson Heal the World. I guess we just have to try to be good people and try to make this crazy world a little nicer. If madness and greed can spread, then maybe so can love.handshake kiss super

Hi libra,
the key word that stands out for me here is 'created.' If
sleeping, and in mass, has created our insanity it does seem that conscious waking is what will allow us to know the deeper realities that can only flow from Love. And, people are waking, one by one.

ty for your poem rose
