Is this world worth saving?
Everywhere I see,
Such evil deeds,
Could this world be worth saving?

If there was but a sign
Or at least one person praying,
Would it be enough
To make this world worth saving?
In darkness all I see
Skeletons in the wind waving,
Bones clicking together
A chiming they are making,
Violence is our business, and business is good
But yet a world not worth saving?
How many people needed
Holding hands praying,
Would it stop the hurting of
The many in this world worth saving?

Madness, insanity
Everywhere I look I see
Evil in totality
Even if we all knelt praying
Could this world ever be
Worth saving?

This reminds me so much of Lot... and the faithful were saved, not the sinful cities. Which is just to say... I don't know the answers but appreciate the ponderings your words invite! *S* Great write!

Yes, it seems that the majority of inhabitants of this wonderful Earth has not yet discovered the power of love and still nourishes hatred instead of love. But we are bound to evolve into beings who will not only respect but love each other. But until the river of blood will stop to allow the transparent waters to flow freely it will still take time ... "You must be the change you wish to see in the world" said Mahatma Gandhi. That's the way.

Thank you for the opportunity to express my thoughts.

Love,
Margherita

Depends...are you ready to die because others are screwing up...not me, so yes, it's worth saving because I (selfishly maybe) am not ready to go...they've made their choices and will reap the rewards one way or another in the end...one can't live another's life (or death), only their on.
