What Happened To This World

What Happened To This World

A Poem by byronabelband

(A)WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME, WHAT
(D)HAPPENED TO THIS WORLD?
(E)I CAME TO THIS MORNING, AND NOTICED THIS BIG CESS
(A)POOL. FREEDOM WAS REPLACED WITH
(D)GOVERNMENT AND NEW RULES
(E)WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME, WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS
(A)WORLD?

(A)TWENTY SIX YEARS AS A PLUMBER, I
(D)BURIED MY HEAD INTO WORK,
(E)LABORING HARD ALL DAY LONG, JUST LAYING PIPE IN THE
(A)DIRT. ONE DAY ON A JOB SITE, I
(D)SLIPPED AND WOUND UP HURT.
(E)SIX MONTHS ON MY BACK SIDE, I SAW THIS WORLDS ON RED
(A)ALERT.

(A)WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME, WHAT
(D)HAPPENED TO THIS WORLD?
(E)WHAT USE TO BE OF VALUE, IS IN THE TOILET GETTING
(A)SWIRLED. PEOPLE WONT TALK NOW A DAYS, JUST
(D)FACE DOWN ON A CELL PHONE, WILL
(E)SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME, WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS
(A)WORLD?

(A)I FELT I HAD BEEN RUNNING, SINCE
(D)1992.
(E) I STOPPED LONG ENOUGH TO LOOK AROUND, NO ONE HAS A
(A)CLUE. NEIGHBORS DONT TALK AND KIDS DONT PLAY
(D)LORD THAT MAKES ME BLUE
(E)I.Q.'S ARE DOWN, CRIMES ARE UP, WE BETTER FIND OUT WHAT TO
(A)DO...
