What A World We Live In Poem by Emmanuel Odei Oduro

.
What a world we live in
A humbling assortment of nations
Nations with severely sundry societies
Societies with arguing array of attitudes
Culminating in the obvious
A constant clash of cultures
Wrenching and protracted parleys
Making pacts pillars of our coexistence



What a world we live in
Governments of different doctrines
Religious groups of differing dogmas
Diversity of people and principles
Contrary crush of courses and causes
Creating clusters of contrasting classes
Clusters which to others are criminal
But to others legitimate

What a world we live in
Every group can garner support
Those with the most illicit of causes
Are assured of massive support
Led by a dictator, a rebel or a pastor
Employing the most evil of options
Or chasing the most curious of courses
There is certainly a singular assurance
Of a teeming amount of supporters

This is why the world we live in
Witnesses incredible incidents
Incited by illegal factions
With abnormally appalling agendas
Agendas abhorring by all standards
But agendas subscribed to ardently
By enormous faction of fantasizing fanatics

What a world we live in
What one group devotedly detests
Another group potently pursues
A world of crushing contradictions
A world of no absolute truths
No commonly concurred codes
No wonder world peace is illusive
Given this multiplicity of methods
That is the world we live in
