THE WORLD TODAY
A prince
goes insane.
The royal family is slain.
A man with a knife,
Slashes young lives.
The schools are not secure.
When kids guns procure.
Return of the blight.
Females have no right.
Politicians are playing.
Multinationals are staying.
Internet rules the earth.
E-Commerce has its birth.
The market is tight.
Corruption is might.
Cults for the rich,
Con men and mavericks.
Drugs on the streets,
Burglars your home greets.
The homeless are in parks sleeping,
Lonely hearts are in bars seeking.
Protests of the "Peoples Will".
Police ordered, "Shoot to kill".
Terrorism is now for hire.
The world is set on fire.
Mercenaries fight for a cause.
Holy war waged without a pause.
People armed with slings and stones.
A scared land in strife is torn.
Bombs explode on the dance floor,
Everywhere scattered human gore.
Civil wars get a boost.
Dictators rule the roost.
Economic sanctions to penalize,
Rock stars are idolized.
Starving children from hunger drop.
And farmers burn excess crop.
Thank you for your interest,
In the news from east and west.
Even though it sounds like hell,
Have a nice day, and be well.
