Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

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!

Stephan McBride February 7, 2023 at 5:24 PM 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 Shirley Hawkins February 7, 2023 at 7:35 PM Thank you, Stephan, for your comments which I agree with wholeheartedly.
