Russia has indefensible missiles that can carry a nuclear warhead. And climate change triggers bells and whistles, for future predictions look bad, filled with dread. Kim Jong-un has built a nuclear bomb threatening to nuke the United States. And ISIS kills in the name of Islam, thriving in the shadows of our misstates. While the free world’s led by President Trump, allies are insulted and potentates kissed. And the market's heading into a slump that's sure to place poverty on this list. Today’s spicy news bits are food for thought should these fail to frighten, I’ve got a lot. (Sonnet) Jan. 3, 2019

Great sonnet and you are right... The world is full of selfish people, sadly the ones who care cant do enough... The leaders are too blame.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest..
