Philosophical Poetry Week: Woeful Wednesday

Sorrow at the state of the world So much sadness simply hurled At the TV, and life as we know it Still has yet to be unfurled. Oh what is to be done? Spread love everyone. Stop the woe Before you go. Help the battle be won. Woe at disasters coming my way Poverty, inflation, minimum pay What can we do but hold up our Hands and stay alive today. Oh what is to be done? Spread love everyone. Stop the woe Before you go. Help the battle be won. Despair at the despots that rule The globe, murder still isn’t cool But goes on, and what can we do But sit and play the fool. Oh what is to be done? Spread love everyone. Stop the woe Before you go. Help the battle be won. Anguish at the anger of violent Action occurring, we stay silent As the world turns to dust around Our ears; we keep lent. Oh what is to be done? Spread love everyone. Stop the woe Before you go. Help the battle be won.
