Universal Deluge

Innocents tremble in terrible terror Witnessing mankind’s deluge of errors. Violence grows as a sure hate spreader, Intent on humanities' ultimate sever. A deluge of plastic politicians with greedy minds Focus on leaving justice long lost and behind. Modern media’s constant deluge of drama Drags good people down inside insipid trauma. Landlords, bankers, grocers and their names Disappeared behind a deluge of corporate gain. Focused on leaving all people monetarily lame, Corporations score God second to financial gain. The world has grown unrecognizable. Universal fairness knows dim survival. A deluge of stupidity and evil grow viral, As smart phones gain more vacant disciples.

One of the most refreshing honest things I've read in awhile. Yay yay CayCay! A very smooth write that still captures the edginess that comes with disillusionment

You've managed to sum up most of mankind's ugliness in his need for greed and its results. No rose colored glasses should be able to discolor the tragic state of the world. Excellent write, CayCay.

So great to find a kindred poetic spirit, so rhythmed and rhymed, in lovely contrast to my own...well,...whatever that is. Ironically, I think I also entered this contest with my Avalanche poem. If I had a vote, I would vote for yours instead.
