The World

 


  The world, a fictional journey 

I feel the world is burning but 

But still I feel I might survive 

Though my teeth are hiding inside 

Inside gums not showing their place 

Deep inside dentist can not pull 

Reddened skin sore she cannot soothe 


Those hidden sore teeth turning red 

Tried eating bleeding on my food 

Not to waste precious blood and food 

Crying doesn't help makes things worse 

I feel the world is burning, why 

Why do I try when there's no way 

. . .

"Why do I try when there's no way " yes that combination of hopefulness and helplessness gets you

Yes, the world is burning – and meanwhile we each also have our personal problems. I do hope yours are resolved soon!
