Problems now



Oceans winning over,
Kindness as rare as a four leafed clover.
Negative news, so gaudy
Why is it the norm an unhealthy body?
Media creating a cover,
Underneath secrets waiting to recover.
This world so loud
Based on making someone proud.
Stress overfilling the youngest
Naming every should the dumbest.
Innocence is considered a rarity,
The quiet faced with unpopularity,
Hunger and thirst ignored,
But both are so valid then why a prestigious reward?
Wars lost and won everyday,
Politics deciding each action replay.
Problems overlooked with plays,
In which a script is an unnecessary maze.
