The world, my friend, is ending
With shootouts & rapes
Shady, shadowy shapes
Who cares, every person is pretending
The world is yes, ending
A neighbor needing tending
Or his children failing tests
They disinterest us like the rest
Each to his own fending
The world as-sure-as-hell, is ending
It is so heart-rending
To see this indifference snowball
Into heinous acts affecting all
Reaching a point beyond mending
Nothing to do, but watch the world ending
With shootouts & rapes
Shady, shadowy shapes
Who cares, every person is pretending
The world is yes, ending
A neighbor needing tending
Or his children failing tests
They disinterest us like the rest
Each to his own fending
The world as-sure-as-hell, is ending
It is so heart-rending
To see this indifference snowball
Into heinous acts affecting all
Reaching a point beyond mending
Nothing to do, but watch the world ending

this lil piece of work is fantastic.. simple, lucid, direct in conveying the message..
think u shd produce more of this kind..
Thanks Jagdish Mohan :) Btw, why does this generous compliment feel like a criticism of the other kind that I produce? :)
I don't think it will end so soon. There are still a few sane people around.
I can so easily call this a sad state of affairs.. but don't I know how cold and insensitive I have become myself...
I don't know what has gone wrong with me, or the society at large. I only know it wasn't always like this.
