Yelling At You Poem by E.M McCarry

People don't get it!
We're making the same mistakes!
But this time, we'll be lost and shattered,
and there will be no respite!
No recovery!
Just lost life!
And those left will fight to the death,
like the pig-headed idiots we all are.
And none will be left.
Grass will- might- grow
and trees could grow
or maybe
because of us
they won't.

Maybe the world will be barren
and ugly.
Or covered in water
and ruled by the fish.
Or, covered in fire
from volcanoes
or caught in eternal storm.

And it may be to late,
but if we try
we can lessen the effects
and maybe still live.

We can end world hunger
we have enough food to do it twice over,
yet we squabble like toddlers
and do not share.

Nearly a million are starving
30,000 children die from it everyday.
While we eat super-sized meals
that are three times what we need.

Both obesity and starvation are on the rise,
but do we focus on the hungry?

No!

We focus on those who can do it themselves
when those who really need help
are the ones who can't get to food.

Droughts, storms, earthquakes, fire;
murder, terrorists, suicide, disease.
Some are preventable
all are very dark
and dangerous.
All are lethal.

So stop the needless squabbling
and DO something...
because while you were squabbling about what to do...
I started it.
