The World Is On Its Way Down Now Poem by Shalom Freedman

THE WORLD IS ON ITS WAY DOWN NOW

The world is on its way down now
Nothing can now stop it.

Are we going to a new Dark Age?
Will this be the end of the kind of Freedom
The United States has stood for?

The world is on its way down now
Nothing can stop it.

Poorer and poorer
More and more desperate
Lonely criminal hunger everywhere.

Governments will fall
Cities will rage in riot
No one will be spared
All around us
The laments will become greater and greater.

Down and down and down
Each of us trying to find a way to hold out
Families struggling to survive.

And when will it turn around?
Will it turn around?

God in His Heaven
And all not alright in the world.

Pray and pray and pray
For another- happier day.

The world on its way down now.

Hold on to God for Help
For somewhere in the distance somehow
It will turn around.

Will we still be alive
When it does?
