Tiger's Book of poetry - 8. Poem 8: Living in a World


Living in a world full of suffering

I wonder if anyone cares enough to fight

Those who preach hate mislead the masses

Through the gates of hell they should go



Living in a world and feeling insecure

I wonder if I will make an affirmative impact

Those who need me I cannot let down through my weakness

Through life I can only make the most of opportunity



Living in a world in need of spiritual growth

I wonder if peace will ever flood the earth

Those who kill mercilessly and care only about money

Through their tyranny they make the world unbearable



Living in a world where people suffer greatly

I wonder if humanity will survive its own selfishness

Those who are silent help others die sooner

Through their self-absorption pestilence persists



Living in a world where blood is spilled ad infinitum

I wonder if we are better than Hitler and Mao

Those who wage war for financial gain

Through their villainy I hope they rot in hell



Living in a world where hope is a pipe dream

I wonder if the sky will fall upon us

Those who pollute this great planet obliviously

Through their idiocy we may all suffer more famine



Living in a world where delicate life exists

I wonder if our impact will make it wither away

Those who lead us into considerable peril

Through their carelessness they make survival improbable
