screw the world
no one seems to care
the retched inhabitants
of this god-forsaken place
no conscience, no remorse
of the tragedies they bring

war, violence, pestilence, death
a slow destruction of the world
bringing this all to bear
upon their fellow man or woman
their thoughts only of themselves
never a moments thought of others

hate be the language, violence its expression
no love for the people of this world
Love won't fill the hearts of the people
only the murderous rage drives them
the world will not need to wait
for hell is the place we once called home

Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

Lonely Shadow, Your poem is very powerful and true for the vast frontline of our society. What you wrote I feel often and the problem is not with the ones who know or write about it. But with the ones who don't. For when you know of a problem, you can do something about it and this is usually accomplished by an equal or more positive reaction. We can only try and do our part and hope that other's will follow. Nice write.
