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?
