Nothing is wrong?

And yet they tell us

People die every day

We are made o believe

Something goes wrong 

When everything seems to be going right

But that's not the way it is

The world is at peace

There is no war

Innocent lives are not being lost every day

I wish I could believe that 

People don't care about each other 

But that isn't trye

They tell us

Nothing is wrong


The author's comments:

My poem is a reverse poem which means that if you read it backwards it will convey a different message as opposed to when it is read forward. The current events dealing with ISIS inspired me to write this piece. I wrote it a day after the terrorist attack on Paris and I hope that people open their eyes and realize thar innocent lives are being taken every single day.
