The World Today

The World Today
The world today is in turmoil,
Operating under the guise of revolution!  
A raging fire, fueled by agitation,
Through chaos, commotions and confusion!

There’s so much disorder and disturbance,
Being excited by harassing labor!
Fermented through hatred and unrest,
No wonder our country is in such a mess!

Is this the life we want to live?
Are these the scenes we want to see?
Or do you feel it’s time to change,
A world that viewed as confused and strange!
 
Our time on earth is decided at birth,
Only peace, love and blessings will sustain our worth!
Let’s not allow the decisions of others,
Cloud our judgement, as We bare the cost!

So very true, Sarita. Your poem brings the disillusionment and disappointment to light and is so full of wisdom. Nicely done. 7 Hugs, Sandra

Very well written, although I don't believe those 50 we're predestined to die, that would mean God caused that madman to do his evil deed, which i can't accept. Otherwise a lot of truth in your write.Well done!

Thank you John, for the visit and your comment. It was not my intent to infer that the recent events were predestined, just trying to shed a little light on the state of our world today.
