The World Gone Haywire

Global warming Polar bears do not have a name for it They have not read about it in Geographic But they are dying anyway Pollution of our oceans Whales are turning up dead Animals are swallowing oil Seals are throwing themselves off cliffs Assault rifles Anybody with a credit card can get one Mowing down people at concerts Or in grade schools Or just co-workers you do not like this second Divorce statistics Abortion debates A nation divided People generalizing each other “All Democrats, all Baptists, all Republicans” Division Anger Hatred Death When will it stop?
