"so far beyond repair"


State of the World Beyond Repair

30 lines


In looking at the state
Of the world today,

It is so easy
To become distracted
Filled with despair.

Fear and trepidation
As the politicians play
Endless games.

Ignoring the real problems
Facing the world
Climate change on steroids,
the whole world burning up.

The growing gap
Between the rich
And the rest of us.

Gunmen on the lose.
Threats of right-wing
Domestic terrorism
Fascism re-emerging.

Democracy under attack
widespread madness
everywhere.

It is easy
For us to give up
Believing,

It is all a SNAFU
And give up
Thinking everything

Is just
"so far beyond repair"
