My grandma, before she was dead. <br />Naught wrong with world, it's people in it. <br />I think you could say, it's the same today, <br />As it was of yesterdays. <br /> <br />Isn't it a mess, <br />Oh what a shame, <br />Everywhere you look, <br />It all seems the same. <br /> <br />Suffering and starvation, <br />Violence and war, <br />Corruption, greed, <br />Destruction. <br /> <br />Our children killing other children, <br />Gangs guns and knifes, <br />taking innocent life's. <br />Oh, what ashame. <br /> <br />Don't we ever learn <br />or change, <br />Can't we give, <br />instead of take. <br /> <br />Everyone is on the make. <br />Politicions, bankers. <br />Dictators and statesmen <br />Business and tradesmen. <br /> <br />Oh, what a shame. <br /> <br />Secrets and lies, <br />hacking phones, distorting truth, <br />Internet bullies and distressed children, <br />Oh, what a mess. <br /> <br />Can we change the way things are. <br />Yes, we can if we dare. <br />Find the courage to lead. <br />Show the love to care. <br /> <br />Elaine Battersby(Elaine B) <br />March 2012<br /><br />Elaine Battersby<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/grandma-said/
