Chaos Rules

As our world descends into anarchy, a little something to remember...

Police cars torched in riots,

Poisoned food in the stores,

Jet planes crashed by pilots,

Serial killers slaying w****s.

Children slaughtered in their schools,

Gang warfare in our streets,

Nations run by fools,

No cops left on the beat.

Constant war in the Middle East,

Streets blocked by barricades,

Peoples starving while warlords feast,

Living large on foreign aid.

Drug dealers killing cops,

Drug lords buying banks,

Cheap clothing made in sweat shops,

Inner cities patrolled by tanks.

As our buildings burn to embers,

And chaos takes its turn,

We all need to remember,

Some folk just like to watch things burn.

A depressing thought maybe, but all too true!

Wow. You really are nitty and gritty, Flash frontline news. You speak the truth.. Loud and out theirs. I like that a whole lot. no bullshit. Just facts. Dramatic, dark, scary. And real to live as you can get. Without even having to leave your front door.
