What's Wrong With The World?

by Brittany C   Apr 28, 2007


What's wrong with the world.
There are people killing here,
and then those killing over there.
There are kids starving here,
and people homeless there.

Where do we see these problems?
I read about hunger in this country,
and the ill in that country over there.
Then there is war here and there
for reasons some don't understand.

Why are humans so blind?
There are those how don't care.
Then there are those how never
have time to help the sick and poor.
Why are so many people selfish.

Why are animals going extincted?
Because we never stop to think.
Humans cut down the rain forest
to build new houses and roads.
But do they ever stop to think.

Why can't everyone care?
There are some who do.
Those who dedicate their
life's to saving endangered
species and who help the poor.

What is wrong with the world?
That we pollute the atmosphere.
That we fight wars that should
be over. How many have to suffer
before we begin to learn anything?

What's wrong with the world?

    Okay, this out of all the one's I've read is better, this was outstanding, I loved that you asked the question at the end. The world is seriously messed up.. And this poem did a great job saying it, very powerful, very emotional. Nice piece of art. Keep working at it. =)

    Third Stanza; you have two mispellings both of them are who, typed as how.

    I liked this poem because it makes you think about what is truly wrong with the world. And, though you only tipped the iceberg, it set off fireworks in my head. And, I'm sure it has in others.

    Great issue to write about, and your words are passionate and true.

    There were some gramatical errors,but I understood the message that you were making.

    Well done x
