Planet On Fire

A World Of Chaos

By Joe PattersonPublished 4 years ago Updated 4 years ago 1 min read

The temperature is up and it's only getting higher. The devil won't retire while the world is on fire.

We don’t notice heat turning up. More and more the planet’s turning rough and we don’t realize it’s burning up.

Clear for you to see no example is vague. We're in a world filled, with war, disease, famine and plagues.

For two years we watched a virus blow up. Just as it was simmering down we watched gas prices go up.

We don’t just see all the politicians at war. We see every opinion of opposition at war.

It's like someone is trying to keep us inside, or at least destroy our will so we're defeated inside.

We're steady trying to figure out which ways to run, but no matter what its just no place to run.

If you turn to the leaders then you're just left hanging. Politics are the new leading form of gangbanging.

Wanna hide from the truth? Don’t dare try it. That’s the reason everyday we’re seeing a new riot.

Even illegal activity has been hitting harder. Meaning even the criminals have been getting smarter.

From your mental and physical muscles, work hard or you'll struggle with no additional hustle.

But while mankind is causing all the maddest disasters, we still have to look out for the natural disasters.

We live in fear of the choices of the tainted souls, while mother nature brings the choices that we can't control.

Everywhere you go it's a shame. Every sight you see shows you a frame of how the globe is in flames.

A world of chaos where every man is on fire. Tell all the boys and girls the planet's on fire.
