Simply Put

What a mad world we live in How long will it take? Before we realise We all make mistakes. No one is perfect Most would agree Perhaps we should try harder To live in harmony Responsibility is needed To show care for all If this is not heeded We are heading for a fall Too much greed and corruption An unhealthy need for power Causes fear and disruption That worsens by the hour There seems to be no end To the dissension and unrest I tend to think We all need a rest When will it end we ask? The answer is always soon Do we have to wait Until the cow jumps over the moon?

Perhaps I'm a pessimistic (not all my poetry is though), but ever since the world began we have always searched for trouble. The joke is we always blame God. ~~
