Upside Down World

Oh! Dear, what are we doing, Chaos, Mayhem, Rack and Ruin We have tipped the world upside down Everyone now wears a frown A puzzled look of disbelief And grief Sadness etched on every face, Truth and morals replaced, By evil deeds That feeds the human race. All seem out of place. Keep faith that we will see, The downfall of this enemy All bad things come to pass, And we will have peace at last And run free!

There has always been some war in this miserable world. One ends, another begins. Well composed.

Amen, it's always been upside down it seems, just more ways to show it now and cause chaos and disbelief, sadly mostly out of blindness and deception
