Words flow people breath
waves rush people see
poems rhyme people speak
life flows humanity grows
people die humans cry
crops fail people despair
lives lost do we care
people starve while we grow
taps turned on rivers flow
sun burns moon glows
tides turn world moves
cycle of life does it improve
as rich get richer and poor despair
jobs disappear does recession care
people are homeless begging on streets
lights switch goes out darkness creeps in
grids go down the world gets cold and lonely
earth shakes floods don’t care
rivers destroy towns and devastation everywhere
wars go on spreading death everywhere
pestilence runs riot disease hunger and fear
the world is running out of time
and life is at the mercy of gods will
and natures ferocity as powers beyond
take control of life and humanity.
