I find the world today requires desperate aid:
- politics: all the world’s a-brew and needs its law
- environment: the world’s unzipping as it thaws
- economy: recession; wealth unfairly paid
- humanity: our bunch, becoming more abate
- society: all wanton with its plastic gods
- our health: destroyed with every fry in paw
- tradition: culture pasted over, blue and grey
When shall salvation rescue us from grief and strife?
Where is our superhero? Busy with his life?
What we can do is make ourselves informed and wise:
destroy our atrophy with pride and dignity,
imbued with purpose, duty, hospitality –
and only then can Earth be salvaged from us mice.
Inspired by Beth's writing prompt about the world today! It's a little pessimistic, but it includes a lot of critical issues about today. Thanks again, Beth!
ReplyDeleteI like it! Especially the first stanza--nice explanation of various issues so many of us are concerned about.
