Human Stupidity

Acid rain, climate change and toxic oil spilll
Pollution, dying forests and plastic land fill
Dying species, warfare, terrorism, abortion, the pill
With complacency and greed, this earth we kill
Manipulated people, lost all hopes and dreams
The masses subjugated, nothing what it seems
Disillusioned children, rebellion in a gang
Fragmented parents trying to understand
Crime and violent anger, anarchy is what they breed
Abuse and intolerance, how well we sow the seeds
Drugs and self absorption, youth learning to only take
Shattered obligations, such **** of life we make!

I was shocked and it seemed i just came to life again to hear people's disappointment and disillusionment with how the whole world is speedily spinning toward destruction. Everywhere i turn to it is the same bad news and it is from those whom i have felt they are comfortable with money and good trappings of riches. Some said they don't want to be alive again in a world saturated with follies of all dimension. What will a poor man like me do but to keep calm and keep on praying for God's mercy.
