Expensive Medicare,
children on Welfare,
people dying,
hungry babies crying,
what has the world come to?

Sell your soul,
make some cash,
kill your kids,
just make sure the stock market doesn't crash.

Monetary units are scarce these days,
live for money,
work your lives away,
government make sure only the innocent ones pay.

Elderly with no clothes,
women working being hoes,
Jerry Springer make 10 million to laugh as the world is broken,
what has the world come to?

We'er not on the eve of destruction yet....but we are headed there unless someone turns this juggernaut around. Hopefully your poem will make people think. Nice job, Angel. Hardrock

How I wish there wasn't truth in what you say, but it is so true, unfair and painful. Very well written, I enjoyed reading it. I have an elderly mom, so I see alot of unjust things in society.

My words exactly. I ask myself these questions everyday. Nothing makes sense, does it? I often wonder, if I have children - how will I explain the contradictions of modern society. A great poem here.

How sad and how true! Even sadder is the fact that we have no one to blame but ourselves. Excellent job!!
