So Sad

So sad
So sad, that everything, living  sadly; both animals and plants 
Ants are no longer find in our homes; 
Are sad; seeing their future crushed by man's starvation.
The sky weeping; the sea mourning, the road sweating;
Sweating out the bloods ; guns and missiles poured  as liberation.
So sad, nothing is working but war and corruption flourishing 
Marriages are not working but gay and divorce smiling in victory.
So sad, that jobs are doing worse;
but politics  flourishing across nations.
Nothing is working; so sad.
Only hope of man - democracy ;  not working either;
but  scandals and sexual galore among leaders;
 rolling out results.
So sad, all men are tested anger positive. 
No one  think right neither act humanly,
We are weak in strength to win life challenges  but stronger, creating sorrow for others.
So sad, that we see dead bodies on the  roads; on the street of cities.
Children no longer grow up to see their parents, those that flew out of war with parents ; floating on high sea, 
swimming to congested Nations for slavery.
Looking at faces, drum beat of war  starring hard.
So sad, that top leaders have seized  the occasion to make big trade
The monkeys are jumping from barboo to another, mocking man
Watching naked women and children sleeping on leaves  all nights,
So sad,  animals and plants are comfortable but  man miserable.
Our selfishness has denied us hope; so sad.
