The World As We Know It

The days are growing nastier
The months are growing weerier
The years are growing shorter
And the People are growing further.

The seasons and weather are clashing
The water and land are combining
The sun and moon are collaborating
And the People are corrupting.

The hate and love is becoming one
The respect and caring is becoming obsolete
The tears and blood is becoming obvious
And the People are becoming obstructive.

The sick are leared to be guinea pigs
The young are loosing their parents
The elderly are left to others
And the People are for their selves.

The Greed has spread wide
The Envy has sliced open
The Jealousy has swallowed deep
And the People has SURRENDERED HEART!
