Funny how the very ones who <br />Say they carry the light, also <br />Bare the responsibility <br />For most of the pain in the world. <br />Funny how the loudest whiners <br />Are the fanciest diners at the <br />Buffet of humanity. <br />Funny how the rich are exempt <br />And the poor breed contempt; <br />How the nations with the most to give <br />Play the best game of politics <br />Supplying the weaponry that <br />Eventually kills even their own children. <br />Funny isn’t it how the world works <br />With its upside down righteousness <br />And its lawful injustice, while <br />All the best parts of mankind are being <br />Sucked out through the holes in the ozone <br />Or dissolved completely in the furnace of <br />Unrestrained, thoughtless industry or greed. <br />It’s a funny world alright; <br />Funny how nobody’s laughing.<br /><br />Carolyn Brunelle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/funny-world/
