The world is screwed up
Good guys
Turn
Bad
People are dying
Because of other people’s mistakes
The world is screwed

The world is screwed up
Humans aren’t behaving humanely
Beauty always over brains
People take one look at others
And either like them or hate them
The world is screwed

The world is screwed up
Children die
Starving
Praying
Wishing
That their parents were humane
The world is screwed

The world is screwed up
Burning our resources
Like they could be replaced
The world is screwed
The first world shall end in fire,
The second shall end in ice,
The third shall end in floods,
The fourth and final shall end in darkness and hatred.

As twisted as it may be, the world isn't necessarily a bad place. It's the people. I like how your poem names much of the problems I see and hear of, but the focus is a bit broad (the world).

It makes me sad that as we humans as both people (and a species) progressively decline, the Earth suffers.

There is power in the pen.
