A darkened world

misskay

What's happened to the world of late

Such crimes of inhumane and hate

Lives are taken so unmercifully 

What has happened to our humanity?

I look around to see such lack of empathy 

It's not a world I want to see

People dying everywhere

Now in this life it's humans I fear

And for such losses I don't understand

This was not gods intention 

For woman and man

To destroy this earth & other humans 

 

I can't watch the news anymore

I don't want to know

The acts of pure evil and the heart aching sorrow

So many people now don't see a tomorrow 

No justice for them or their family's is done 

A hatred for nothing

Blood spilled war which no one can win

How can their hearts bear such a sadistic sin 

It's no world for our children to grow up in

What's happened to humanity 

What has this world become 

Killing of innocents with knifes & guns 

What happened to truths after said and done

No United stand to be seen 

Just talk of all controversy

Are you all blind? 

Can you not see?

This isn't how people's lives should be!

Scared of being a victim of the news on tv 

Worried for themselves and their family's

Life brings enough sadness without these tragedies

No punishment of our laws

Could ease the pain 

But a life sentence for a life should be done all the same 

no privileges for good behaviour should ever be allowed 

In the evil crimes that they committed in private or in crowds 

Some of 20 years locked up, that's not life 

10 if they're good and cause no strife

How can this be justified? 

Makes me sick to know these laws

Would this be justice to you if the loved ones was yours?

What's happened to this world of late?

What happened to cause such aggressive hate?

    WELCOME KAY ~ Thanks for your first poem with mainly rhyming couplets and good rhythm. A very SAD but TRUE subject !. The rape of Planet earth & Humanity on every continent ! VERSE 1. is an overview of the inhuman behaviour all over the World. God created a VERY GOOD WORLD and Man & Satan & Sin has perverted it into a VERY BAD WORLD ! VERSE 2. I can't watch the NEWS either ~ it's mainly BAD NEWS (or FALSE NEWS !). I agree crimes against people are horrendous and the PUNISHMENT ~ no longer fits the CRIME. Without a deterrent Criminals will just get worse & worse ! Thanks for your concern ~ this is an empathetic site and most will agree with you. Yours BRIAN & ANGELA. Please check our site & Poems ~ Thanks B & A

    Hi Brian and Angela.
    Thank you for your comments.
    I’m afraid all my work is rhyming couplets.

    I've worked backwards through your works published on MPS today and i'm so pleased to see you also have a clout at politics in your poetry.
    There are many many injustices for us to address. Looking forward to more from you.

    Thank you Dusk arising
    I’m really happy you like all my work
    It’s intense sometimes but life can be intense right
