world Peace-a fading dream

World Peace- the fading dream

By the age of 12
I knew the world through a harsh representation
Watching news with my mom
Nothing but devastation
From hunger and disease crisis
To terror attacks by ISIS
I got accustomed to bad news
Though vexed with these vices
I was hopeful towards peace
Had hope for the end of violence
Had hope for the rise of benevolence
But I was as wrong as two left feet
To think the world's calamities would ever meet defeat

If it isn't tribal war in south Sudan
It is barbaric killings in Iran
That's not the end of it
Let me take you to Pakistan
A dozen killed in a suicide bombing
In the month of Ramadan
With such atrocious acts
Surely evil has won

It is not the end of this saga
Far from it we are
Look at the war in Gaza
Honestly quite bizarre
An endless series of bloodshed
Will it ever end?
My opinion is negative
I mean not to offend
I am simply out of hope
What about you my friend?
