Reality Check

By Desdemona

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

People getting high, the winds are getting cold Our lil kids are growing old. The earth is round, the oceans blue, Someone now is inventing something new. Country music, Punk rock bands, The Statue Of Liberty barely stands. Floods, tornadoes, natural disasters in store, The ozone layer destroying at the core. Killers, Bombers, People in jail, The economies again soon will fail. End of the innocence, time on our hands, People with no shirts in the football stands. Our air is nasty, cloning humans beware!!! Homeless people, Does anyone care??? Suits and Ties, Magazine Lies, The beautiful princess, tragically dies. Hookers and Hos, The Gulf War arose, Is there aliens among us, the government only knows? Shakespeare, movie stars, copyright laws, cults and religions, kids shot at the malls. Gays and Heroes, Legends we knew. Orphans in Africa, alone with the flu. Charities, insantities, the president inhaled? The war on drugs, on tv scaled. Obusives, Obsessives, computers for teachers, Judging individuals by only their features. Gangsters, Vampires, hunting our nights, Will anybody stop the black verses whites? Please take this time and listen to this plea Keep the world safe for your children and me.
