I worry for the world.
I do, it’s true.
I worry for the world,
Through and through.
On this earth,
There’s so much wrong.
It decreases worth.
We’re never strong.
Echos and rings,
From the shots of war.
There’s many things,
There’s so much more.
There’s starvation, poverty,
Racism, inequalities,
All of these things bother me.
All of these things cause casualties.
Starvation and hunger
Affect many people,
Adults and younger.
All hope there’s no sequel.
I could write a book on racism.
It’s been done before,
And it’s caused quite a schism.
Drops jaws to the floor.
Inequality sickens me
And many others, too.
Everyone has the right to be.
To be who they want to.
Every person is a snowflake,
Unique in every way,
But we push them ‘til they break,
And don’t see another day.
Bullying leads to taken lives,
To sadness and to fear.
Doing awful things with knives
And shedding many tears.
Social media has taken over
Human robots, too many.
I’m lucky as a clover,
Because I don’t have any.
Parents’ expectations are too high.
Kids are failing class.
Many of them cry,
And are as fragile as glass.
Celebrities are idols,
Yet many are fools.
They’ve become our rivals,
Not as precious as jewels.
Technology is worshipped,
It’s addictive like a drug.
Society will worsen.
It’s time to pull the plug.
