Who shall save the world?

We are completely powerless
against the world corruption
which by greed has ruined all the world,
with Trump as leader of the universal egoism,
denying there is anything to worry about,
while oceans are dying,
wildlife disappearing,
people starving without water,
cruel dictatorships supported by democracies
for just some short-term gains,
while we, who watch and are aware
of the world crisis steadily increasing
can do nothing
but observe and pray and hope
for all too necessary miracles.
Can even love do anything about it?
That's perhaps the miracle
we all are waiting for,
the most improbable
but maybe only possible.

"Do unto others as you would that they do unto you." If all humans lived by that maxim, I don't think there would be a problem. Good work.

who shall save the world? we shall, we shall set aside our pety differences and save the world. or we shall just watch the world sink to oblivion, our choice really, entirely up to us...

We sit like fools upon the hill , as the world tuerns ,
We , fools look out and down upon the world ,
tuerning on it's axses,
We fools spoke out , worned of what was to come,
How they laugh ,
Bloody fools they calde us and much worce ,
We marched , we chanted our warnings , ''bloody fools''
Was thear reponce ,
Now it's hear , we fools banishd to the hills ,
Now we look down , upon the results , we fools.
