World War Iii Plea

I watch the news and I know not why The doom and gloom draws me to cry World War three may be on it's way I sincerely hope it won't happen one day The World's gone mad, who wants a win When all there would be is a shameful sin There's much abundance for all in life Why invite such trouble and strife Greed and power grips at the man Just because he knows he can Doesn't mean it makes him any better We all know he's a real go getter Does he care? No, not a jot He'd ramp it up and blow the lot Please don't do it, please rethink People don't want life living on the brink

A very poignant write, Barbara! But I'm afraid man won't learn! Well done!

Thank you, I have no idea what has come over me. I'm a novice when it comes to poetry and have only recently started to look into. I rarely comment on the news but for some reason my thoughts come out easier in poetry. Surprised at myself. I appreciate your comment.
