THE WORLD

Some say the world is priceless

But I could buy it for a nickel or two

Because the world is so very cheap

Once its lost all its virtues

And what a poor defenseless world

Desolated by what men require

For a man's mind is useless

When thinking upon his desires

The world was once milk and honey

But it is now bloodshed and tears

It was once adventurously courageous

And is now full of fears

Can't man see the infliction

And suffering he has caused?

Can't man see the care

And the love that the world has lost?

The guilt of man shall grow

May he find salvation from it

For the world struggles to contain

The sin that it omits

A really good poem with so much truth in it. There is so much selfishness and greed in the world today its pathetic. You did a great job on this. 100/100
