Crazy Or Lazy


Whatever God you believe in, he must be crazy,
Everywhere in the world there seems to be turmoil;
It seems to me that the Gods have gotten lazy.

In Canada, we have issues with our crude oil,
In the U.S. there are deadly tornadoes, storms;
Everywhere in the world there seems to be-  turmoil.

The world nowadays is just full of prickly thorns,
The Gods must be crazy to allow all this to be;
In the U.S -  there are deadly tornadoes, storms.

Shooting, stabbing, terrorist! Oh, can you not see,
Refugees of horrible wars are flooding countries;
The Gods must be crazy- to allow all this to be.

Coalition forces attack far off cities,
Global Warming- Canadian balmy winters;
Refugees!  Of horrible wars are flooding countries;

Coalition forces- attack, far off cities,
Whatever God you believe in, he must be crazy;
Global Warming, Canadian balmy winters,
It seems to me that the Gods have gotten, lazy.

The form works really well here, BW. Good choice. The repeated lines help to stress the "crazy" theme of the poem. Very well done.
