A Few Things Wrong With the World Today

Everyone is far too busy taking fucking selfies, these days
to notice, or have any clue about what is going on in the worldĀ  ..

Most are not bothered that folk are still starving and dying
here and there and everywhere and that bombs are still dropping ..

Many seem to think that the world owes them a favourĀ and a
bloodyĀ living too, when in truth, generally don’t deserve a thing ..

So many feel hard done by and want to be spoon fed, don’t they
and everyone is a victim and each crave compensation for nothing ..

Some complain about emoji’s that mean absolute zilch then they
wantĀ to break something and complain about history and change it ..

Such a selfish mentality prevails I cannot relate to it at all, dear lord
what is the world coming to, I just hope there’s not another world war ..

You covered much ground here, all relatable and close to home and heart. Entitlement seems to come complimentary with every child…

Agreed!Ā  Says me taking a selfie!Ā  Hahaha ...no, I actually take very few.Ā  But, yeah, I do think there's people in the world who are pretty crazy and dangerous. The history bit is really pissing me off at the moment. But history is history. Good or bad it's in the past ... it needs to stay in the past. It cannot be changed. What's done is done so leave it be, let it serve as a reminder and warning, and move on. Dragging up the past only pulls up hatred for today to feast upon.
Ā  Ā  Ā  Those that think the world owes them a living need to learn about what work is and get on and do it.
Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Crivens! We are, as the human race, killing this beautiful planet we are blessed to call home.Ā Ā It's not good when the president elect of America does not believe in global warming. Waily, waily waily....

A thought provoking write indeed x
