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

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.
