THE WORLD WE LIVE NOW!

The world the way it is
backs turned
to all the suffering
grinding down poverty
wars - dieing - children
mothers - fathers beyond helping
for they are being killed - witnessed
by their children - who are next to die

Mothers and fathers - take to boats
some pay others to tack their children away
in the hope - their children out of harms way
hoping to find a welcoming shore
only to find there are those - who wish them harm

Boats some made of wood - others of rubber
turn turtle - drowning the folk on board
humanity harts closing shut - becoming ironhearted
iron rusts

Oh how come dis humanitarianism - is what is becoming of human beings?
