This is not our world, this is not our home

Just the way the world works from my perspective.

I feel like I am drowning in this world full of turmoil and disease

A globe which was once fit and healthy, fallen to it’s knees.

This one world that used to be full of loving people, green grass and flowers,

Has now turned in to a government who just don’t care, 

And policemen who abuse their powers.

We call this world equal, and the people are supposedly free

It is not that, we are not that lucky to be

For we are prisoners, chained to a dark, forsaken land

With no way to leave, no way to stop

And no holding hands.

No love is felt, and no affection is seen

We are the dying generation and ghosts of who we have previously been

Now we are brainwashed by this abusive government, 

Not free at all, everybody is filled with hatred,

And judgement. 

Instead of talking to people, we use our mobiles for communication,

As good as that may be, we concentrate not on the important things

Just the one phone vibration. 

One text, seen by me

What has happened to the world that could have been and still could be?

Open your eyes, see the world for what it truly is,

We are dying and in a medical and economic crisis.

Step up - fight these people who are so fake and cruel

Killing one another over who can and cannot rule.

This is my perspective and anybody is going to fight me over my own perspective then i suggest you don't because i won't care anyway.

This is a very similar view to how the world really is. I like your insight with how everyone only seems to care about their phones and how significant of a necessity is has become. The world is overrun by greed and corruption, yet we of the same race are kept from the facts that these supposedly higher-ups should be sharing with us. We choose to hurt our own people out of greed and power and it's disgusting. We should not be treating our own race like that, yet we witness it everyday.

We need to care. Apathy is the weapon of the tyrant.

Was the world really better in the old days? I think we've only traded one set of problems for another. And you're right, nobody is doing anything to fight it or make things better.
Still, a well constructed poem.

Such an honest piece of writing and the way you portrait the reality was simply awesome!
