My fears are many
My woes are the same
I fear for loss
Of life and liberty
The mountains tremble
And the seas rage
As country after country
Produces deadly threats
We have weapons of ear
Hurling across the sky
Ready to plough down,
And kill all that is around
Life is not safe
The world is at unease
With President’s twittering
Instead of governing
Then there is Mother Nature
As beautiful as she can be
She is a threat to us as well
With the heavens offering up storms
Countries are being flooded
People are being displaced
Cars are floating down the river
And lives being bid to rest
The world is not safe
But it is our world
And we need to do everything
To keep holding on
