Today...
We've wider roads, but narrow minds
More money now, but we're far less kind
The buildings are taller but our tempers are shorter
We've polluted the world and we drink bottled water
Today...
We love too slow and hate too fast
The gulf between rich and poor is vast
We can e-mail a message across the globe
But ignore the old poor people across the globe
They spend millions trying to conquer space
Instead of conquering prejudice, hate and poverty
We chat and text from our mobile phones
Then sit in silence in our homes
Watching disgusting and outrageous living condition of other people of the world
We've more experts but less common sense
We developed ammunitions to kill ourselves
We spend millions on fruitless ventures while millions are living in complete poverty.
Our sense of humour, sympathy and concern about other people is gone..
Absolutely gone!
Criminals reassured of a lenient sentence
If only they could see that love is the way
There would be peace and understanding in this world today.

Writer Profile
Adeyemi Adisa
When I examine myself, I see writing as the only way to express my thoughts and have been wasting no time, however little, in ensuring that I express myself. This is an inspirational thought, potentially instilled in each and everyone of us, but the ways we express ourselves is the difference. I hope to meaningfully make use of most of my time and positively share my thoughts with others. You can check out my site (www.yemmmmy.co.nr) for more of my articles and poems.

Loved the poem! Joanna Frizzell | Sep 18th, 2004
I love your expression of emotions and what you see in the world, as it is so true. During the end you seem to rant and lose the rhythm and rhyme of the poetry and a couple parts could be edited slightly to enhance the flow, but once again a beautiful poem and what matters most is the the truth is shows. Love to you!
Joanna
