People dying
Car crashes
Vandalized property
Hunger and thirst
Homeless and lost
Kidnapped and stolen
No jacket no jeans
Dying world
Smoke ashes
Animals killed
Forests destroyed
Volcanoes erupting
Terrorists bombing
Hope lost
Love gone
Peace—what does it mean again?
Earthquakes
Floods
Tsunamis
Destruction
Sickness
Infestation
And I sit
And I wait

The author's comments:
The world can be beautiful, but depressing, too, and while people are starving or dying, others just sit around and wait and do nothing to help
