What a world
What a world we live in. A beautiful world. A world that is in constant battle between good and evil. Right and wrong. Left and right. Truth and lies. Heaven and hell. God and Lucifer. Women and men. Rich and poor. Black and white. The list goes on and on. A world that was once run by the people and for the people. Only to be snatched by the mighty hand of the rich and powerful. They then set forth a motion to control the people. A system made to corrupt. A cycle conceived to destroy, belittle and dehumanize. They poisoned our food supply, our water supply, our knowledge supply (schools), our economic supply (jobs). They poisoned our nation. They turned us against each other. They gave us weapons to kill each other. They gave us drugs to break us down and deteriorate our minds. They gave us a justice system, made to work against us. They gave us a prison system made to enslave us. What are we left with? What are we supposed to do? What steps do we take to grow and prosper? What sort of life are we supposed to live? What is this world we live in?

Hey, Laura, this is thought provoking, your approach is unusual in that you call the world 'beautiful' initially and proceed to spell out all the problems that exist in the world, were you being sarcastic with your initial description? Just curious
Yes, I agree with your assessment on everything, there are beautiful things visually spiritually and so forth, that still exist in the world, despite all the problems; beautiful roses are to be seen, but with thorns....your point is well taken, poem reads like an internal dialogue stream, it's actually quite good, hope you present more of your interesting work, enjoyed....and welcome....very cool are these pull quoted lines below

Hey Christopher, Thank you for your comments and feedback. I was not being sarcastic in my initial description, the world is a beautiful place over all, however, as I mentioned there are a lot of things that go on in the world that gives us that constant game of tug-a-war between good and bad. That is what the poem is about, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Thank you again.
beautiful write, warmest regards and a huge welcome to Cosmos
