This poem was inspired by world events on March 14th, 2019.
There’s so much bad news
It’s like the world’s going to Hell
Will mankind survive?
These days, it’s hard to tell
A mass shooting in a mosque
Down in kiwi land
Another senseless slaughter
Sane folks don’t understand
Divisions in religion
Politics, and race
Become like ugly team sports
This society’s disgrace
Some are on Team Christian
Others on Team Jew
There’s Team Moslem, Team Sikh
Team Hindu, to name just a few
Will humans ever get along
And evolve to a higher plane?
Or are we doomed to destruction
By the hateful and insane?
