Washing The World Away.

by Courageous Dreamer   Jun 23, 2008


-*Written for a Contest*-

As crazy as it seems,
The world is washing away.
Slowly but steadily,
It is diminishing.

Rising gas prices, war in Iraq, global warming,
All these highly debated issues are talking a toll.
We are all slowly falling back into a recession,
Before long it will be worse, it will turn into a depression.

Do you really want to fall into a deep hole?
Do you want the world to wash away and for nothing to remain?

Stand up for what you believe in,
And do what you think needs to be done.
Solving these problems among several others,
Would be the thing that pulls us back from falling apart.

The world is falling apart,
We sit here everyday looking at the mess,
But we don't do a thing about it.
We just let the brave soldiers risk their lives for us.

So take a stand.
Do what you think is best.
Whatever that is could make a difference,
It could help the world from washing away.

    I truly agree with the message you want to send through your write... It is a burning issue.. and most people are so passive to it...
    we are actually suffereing due to rising oil prices.. because of it prices on evrything has risen...

    "We are all slowly falling back into a recession,
    Before long it will be worse, it will turn into a depression."

    ^^ very true... these are brilliant lines with a meaning attached...

    I wont suggest anything except some slight modification in flow and stucture...

    good work...
    keep writing..

    Yes...our world is realy falling apart...
