The Ugliest Poem

The worlds Ugliest Poem Think chaos will become the new norm in this world where life and words are cheap think there'll be bodies littering the streets and blood rolling into the gutters from people killing their neighbors just to get a little something to eat and a place to lay their heads at night to sleep think their'll be rioting all around scorched earth the only ground will we cry out unto God or will we simply blame him I wonder what things will be like for the innocent little children Oh how I wish we could stop right now before anything like this happens and it happens yeah, it happens mostly in war torn nations and those that are so very poor and what makes any of us think that we are better than them think our nation is not filled to the brim it could happen yeah, it'll probably happen because we don't know how to live and our ministers preach personal salvation how can we inherit the kingdom of heaven if we forsake our own nation or are we forsaken by the leaders that we trust are they are part of us or have they become so rich and full of pride that it's time to knock them down to size before this happens because it happens Oh my God have mercy for I fear this time there'll be no place to hide here I sit writing and typing it's all I can do all balled up inside filled with fear and anxiety and I type and type and I type striving to warm them and explain to them why yet it seems all of my words are in vain it's as if my work is little more than a strange curiosity and sometimes I wonder if it's me or the world that's insane they prefer lies so nice I guess it makes them feel like everything is OK don't lift the Vail or just might see me and who wants to believe that their'll be hell to pay for all the children starving in the streets that have no place to stay all dirty and full of disease how can we turn them away and some of these are angels think they can hear you pray at night before you go to sleep without worry or pain it happens yeah, it happens and it could happen to you think your life is fool proof I wonder if chaos will be the new norm I wonder if it already is at least to some extent cancer is on the rise and how can we possibly fix this maybe I just worry to much maybe I should just turn on the TV and watch something fun while it happens yeah, while it happens

Mark, your "ugly poem" well describes the ugly parts of our world. Sometimes I, too, seek escape in TV. But it's hard to turn our backs when the world is going crazy, isn't it? Great analysis of the world in which we live! Carolyn
