The World Has Gone Crazy

The wars never end,
nor does the bloodshed,
and it makes men rich.
The world has gone crazy.

The children continue to starve,
their cries fill the air,
Elsewhere food is wasted.
The world has gone crazy.

The water, air, and food are poisoned.
The oceans and its life are dying.
Mankind can’t see the forest for the trees,
that are falling to the axe of its own greed.
The world has gone crazy.

The homeless are spit on,
sometimes they’re burnt alive.
Their mental health is neglected.
The only answer,
a slow or quick suicide.
The world has gone crazy.

I think peace is more powerful than war,
I expect children to be fed.
I think all life is precious.
Every animal,
and common man,
But I’m treated as if I’m mentally ill,
for being angry,
and expecting change,
in a world that has gone crazy.
