This World Poem by Wini Jose

I stand by the ocean looking at the sinking sun,
Like a father saying goodbye to his dear son.
I look at the world, what has happened to it,
I look at the faces of the people, none of them happy, not even a bit.
Wherever I look, I see nothing good,
Animals dying, people crying for food.
People say that they have no money,
Some sit like kings laughing at all this, thinking it’s all funny.
The trees are now all dead, the animals all homeless.
What has happened to the world, what’s all this mess?
It seems as if the world has turned upside down,
Everyone sad and depressed, all with a frown.
Hurricanes, typhoons and floods,
Wherever I look, I see blood.
But there was a time when humans ruled the earth,
Everything available in no dearth.
Then why is everything messed up now,
All I see is hatred, not even a dropp of love.
I always ask to my inner mind,
The answer to all this please do find.
But all I see is nothing but a blank space,
Everything moving in a very fast pace.
To where, I don’t know,
Everything upside down like rivers running against their flow.
I ask everyone, where they are heading to,
When the fields are not green, when the skies are not blue.
But they never reply to me,
Nor hear my plea.
Everyone has turned bad and sad,
To me I think the world has gone mad.
