Our Greatest Enemy

In the midst of all woes and tribulation,

only a few make the effort at negotiation.

Dictators and Globalism are on the increase,

the time has come to act and ensure our peace.

We are confronted with innumerable challenges,

which run into countless ledgers of pages.

Yet people seem unconcerned and ignore,

the persistent knocking on life\'s door.

Imminent destruction to our planet,

is only one pending facet.

As plagues and droughts bring havoc,

floods and earthquakes cause panic.

Wars and the rumours of wars abound,

with guns and missiles we already can hear the sound.

Our very way of life is being threatened everyday,

What can we do or say?

The enemy lies within our camp secretly,

and is ignored or receives our sympathy.

His name is apathy the father of our downfall,

who could be our utlimate destiny.
