    Today's World

    Hurting people all around
    Like a plague throughout the town
    Jobs less, dollars few
    No one knows what to do
    Politics, crisis, chaos
    Shelters, streets; cold and hot
    Good people, bad people
    All can relate
    Churches, religions, cults
    All looking for saving Grace
    Peace, sadness,
    Happiness, sorrow
    Depression today
    Death tomorrow
    What’s happening to this world?
    What’s with this recession?
    Will the big guys in the office
    Get it together and learn their lesson?
    Full wallets for the head honcho
    Empty pockets for the less macho
    I have to take a drug test to get a job
    You mooch off the government
    And live like a slob
    There are a lot of people that are
    Poor and in need of a helping hand
    We need to pull together, and live up
    To “United we stand”!
    People trying to change the USA
    Taking God out of schools
    Screaming out; “Freedom comes with
    What I say!”
    We are nearing the end of time
    Doesn’t matter what religion we practice
    Or what churches may teach
    Doesn’t matter what our neighbors think
    Or the pastor may preach
    It will all be over and done with
    Let’s come together and give one
    Another the respect deserved
    Stop all the fighting and racial slurs
    We were all created by the one and the same
    Take time out to be thankful in Jesus’ name.

    It must be some greedy decision behind the curtains that is coming back on the goverment, which in turn comes to hurt us. As the good book says, we reap what we sow. I like how this poem keeps its eyes open on what's going on.

    Thank you. I worked for a hospital where I was in a position to help people with no jobs or insurance. I saw how many manipulate the system and get gov help and those that really need it go without!

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
