the world is bleeding

"la monde saigne is French but in any language the world is bleeding"

                                                          Quote by _Constance

there is widespread suffering all around the world
war, violence, killing, death-  a deep wound bleeding
I watch the news and weep
the images so cruel to imagine what humans will do
there is global pain
      anguish
            despair
I have a feeling my country is falling apart
a helplessness fills my thoughts
in other countries
starving people shot while seeking food
      scenes of families mourning is so emotional
           I watch brutal injustice being dealt by the evil
oh, the fires and flooding causing lost of habitats, unmerciful
                      loss of wildlife
                               of the fish and birds
                                         and of family pets
global warming, pollution, animal extinction
        the north pole is melting
           are we damned
                       the world is bleeding
