World In Turmoil

We live in fear,
frightened it's clear.
We live in hate,
don't leave it to late.

A world in turmoil,
we slave and toil,
moments of violence,
breathing defiance.

Clock is ticking,
act without thinking,
live with regret,
never to forget.

Yes indeed, violence leaves it's ugly mark on those who survive it or have to fight it. Well written.
