The World Is Mad

A random poem to show my Vocal followers I am still alive!

By Chloe GilholyPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Scrolling social media & everybody’s saying:

Save and invest; Check this out; follow me; buy my stuff.

The world has turned to shit since David Bowie died.

There’s never gonna be another Sugababes album

Britney’s free, but now they want her locked up

Cause they don’t like what she has to say

But haven’t we forgotten that anybody is lucky

If we can put food on the table and coffee in a cup

Celebrities giving their wisdom

On how to live our lives with kindness

But nobody practices what they preach

What’s the difference between a politician and a comedian?

They both get paid to talk shit and insult the unfortunate.
