We All Die Now
By Rowan
~"Ring around the rosey, a pocket full of posey, ashes, ashes, we all fall
down"~
World of famine
World of war
Nothing's right
anymore
Chemical guns
Terrorist acts
Addictive drugs
Slandered facts
Disease plagued
Rotting water
Innocents
Being slaughtered
Government lies
Politicians on string
Quarantine
Everything
Religious zealots
Suicide
pacts
Teen pregnancy
Violent attacks
Deplete the resources
Attain fame
Get rich quick
Win the game
Now children
run
and play nicely
Society expects
things done precisely
Step out of line
Outcast alone
Face the world
on
your own
~"Ring around the rosey, pocket full of posey,
ashes, ashes, we all die now"~

Excellent write, you mentioned all of the things wrong with this world, that last line was creepy, because I imagined kids dancing in a circle singing it, well done, the rhyme scheme was great, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Sinfire. I wrote this kind of fast. I fixed "plagued". Rosey and Posey were actually spelled that way in the nursery rhyme though.
