World Disorder

poem by: Chris Paxson
Written on Jan 31, 2015

Terror is now a word that everyone on earth knows and fears
The acts of destruction we all see today are the worst any of us have seen in years
No one sees eye to eye, ours has been a decade of hate
Citizens of every country sit helplessly as their governments determine their fate
We the people will have no say in the events that will take place
The future will be unimaginable and so very hard to face
Everyone remains suspicious as lost and forgotten forever becomes the word Trust
The steel walls of world order have quickly begun to crumble and rust
These walls once protected us now they leave us vulnerable and anything but safe
We live life longing for a purpose, never knowing already determined is this worlds fate
We've lost so many lives already
Its been so long since the hands of unity have held steady
No one's better than anyone we're all the same deep down inside
We all strive for greatness and in our everyday accomplishments we need to feel pride
We've begun testing our limits, from this day on our situation will only get worse
Soon the idea that life is a gift will be forgotten and we will know it to be nothing more than a curse
The evil in man is slowly breaking through killing our environment, and persuading us to do the things we will eventually do
Our undying lust for power will eventually kill us all
The decisions we make are poorly thought out bringing swiftly there consequences which look to be anything but small
One by one we'll die all the while believing our action were well provoked
We substituted insanity for reason and on the blood we continuously shed we will eventually choke
It sickens me to think of this and to strongly believe my thoughts will become truths
Hatred and misery we can't get enough of, but for understanding and honesty we really have no use
The skies day by day get darker as the sound accompanying are downfall become crystal clear
The black clouds of destruction take over our skies as the last bit of hopeful blue fades than disappears
The things i am saying i know are hard to comprehend the world will remain divided and the belief that peace is still attainable is something i chose not to pretend
In this place we find death to be more common than a fulfilled life
We've slit the throat of humanity over time using our hatred to sharpen the blades of this world crippling knife
The minds we've been blessed with we've selfishly taken for granted
The fields that once harvested our hope and freedom have been poisoned and in its place fear and insanity is what we've planted
We start out lives with so much innocence remaining oblivious to the pain that is eventually felt by us all
The fiery pits of hell await us as the hands of evil titan ensuring from its grip you can never crawl
Much of this world i can honestly say i wont be sad to see go
The embers of depression glow brightly as long as the flames of insanity and obsession continue to grow
The pain and suffering seem constant while beauty and happiness begin to fade away
Compassion and sympathy are faced with ridicule pushed down and hidden behind the extreme ignorance we all display
Lost for some time now is my faith in my fellow man
It's from his hate filled propaganda and overwhelming pressures for conformity I've my whole life ran
As my time here grows shorter i concentrate less on placing the blame
I will always believe that i am different from the others but inside i reluctantly accept the fact that we are all the same
The earth we inhabit asks us for nothing and to us its resources it happily gave 
You continue to take its generosity for granted there is no life for either of you at the end of this road you continue to pave
The atrocities we are capable of i still find so difficult to comprehend
Our minds become diseased and cloudy easily overcome with the delusions that your commonsense can not hope to contend
The vast knowledge of which we are capable was meant to explore and usefully invent
Instead you've corrupted its potential now its a tool for terror and there is no limit to the crimes it can commit
This place once seemed to have endless potential, we had confidence and strongly believed that there was nothing we couldn't overcome
The earth is dying, our world is one of hurt and disorder
Death was one a thing i so extremely feared now its the only way to stop the pain
I'm done believing you will come to your senses the end you continue to bring us all i no longer fight, the end of this world of terror i now welcome
