Look around you
Hatred, vengeance
Cruelty and hostility
Senseless violence
Swarms of people
Surrendering to evil thoughts
Humanity under attack
Not the future that was sought
Nuclear threats run rampant
Among global dictators
So eager to push the button
Earth’s life incinerators
And what of the innocent victims?
Just casualties of war
A war that shouldn’t have been
And now, the Earth is no more?

Die and let die ...
That's the mindset of those pushing the button. Congratulations, you're in their club.
you're welcome !
Don't thank me, I didn't make you what you are.
A thoughtful write AP.
Yet still more art than ever before in history, it is easy to look at how much can go wrong, let’s not turn a blind eye to what is going right. Great poem
Yes, the threat of war is always around us. It has been that way from the beginning and I suppose it will be that way until the end. A poem that nicely explains how people suffer for the choices of their leaders.
From the looks of things soren. between Russia, China and North Korea the end is about to happen. And they don't care who loses.
The victims are me and you and we are transparent my friend. A deeply disturbing write yet more than appropriate for today's messed up world. 🌹
Well Teddy, in case we don't get the chance to say it, Thank you for the friendship we have shared in our time here. Maybe see you on the other side. 🌹🫂
Well written and expressed
Thanks Tony, Take care and good luck.
You're welcome , take care and good luck as well
Sadly as long there is man there will always be killing, i really enjoyed this well written poem
And nothing short of the second coming of Jesus Christ will change that. Thank you for the read and comment.
Your very welcome
This could be very true soon AP, the world is destroying itself.
Andy
And we'll all get a front row seat for the occasion. Lucky us. Thanks for your friendship Andy.
A sad probability and well expressed.
Thanks Michael. Never imagined I'd get the opportunity to witness the end of the world. 🙄
Amen. Contemplating water shortages, chemical run off. GMO's, nuclear war and plastic poisoning leaves me believing human's time is almost over. With us vanished this planet might have a chance. Gone, and we will have deserved it.
Thank you Dan, about 99% of the world\'s population takes the world we live in for granted and thinks it belongs to us and we can do whatever we want to it and the people in it without and consequences. Well, they're about to realize the consequences couldn't be more devasting. But it will be too late.
Yes. we are so close to WW 3 and I gotta say, it is scrary as h***. And yes, we are the bottom dwellers who will recieve the worse, the very worse of it all....great thought process here.
totally agree. war is senseless and kills more innocents daily, but the ambitions, greed and need for power is way too strong- sad scenario well painted
