The Age of Misery

I wrote this in my Public Finance class, I was angry for some reason, and I let my hand do the writing, and this is the result...

This world is a horrifying place
Discarded corpses are everywhere
Ruled by everyone’s anger and hate
The whole place is full of despair

Blood stains the precious rivers
Cries and tears fill the acrid air
Greed leads to destructive endeavors
Compassion and will have disappeared

The earth is burnt to a crisp
Food and shelter, lost commodities
Loot and rob at every chance
Let’s all welcome the age of misery

I realize this is what has been happening in Pakistan. I do hope that people will soon understand that we,as humans, need to stand up for what is right and true. May God help us. And the poem really brings out truth of the emotions one experiances during absolutely horrid circumstances. Good work :)

a crazy and insane world.

this is what mankind has made of their souls and their environment~ your poem has an undercurrent~ very subtle but discernible~of a plea for awakening from this nightmare~
