In the old days, no one was left out in the cold, without food or shelter.

I agree. However, I think there have always been two classes, rich and poor. Sometimes middle class got there as well if the elites allowed it. Yes, I agree that now-a-days, everyone is more concerned about themselves. Especially living in NY is a perfect example of selfishness. It is sad, but it’s true that there are millions of people who will not survive another day while others live this luxurious lifestyle.

Your first poem describing dark side of the world such as animal extinction, water turning in red, ozone layers bringing all kind of deceases, humans getting sucked in by today’s technology including me...Yes, this all could mean the “End of times” is coming soon and it comes unexpectedly. All we can do is love, have faith and pray.
The story about John Chapman is very touching, however I believe humans where created as a meat eaters, just like animal hunters were created to eat meat. Of course different story is trophy hunting, which I’m 100% against.
Your second poem mentioning government and it’s ways of manipulating people has always been here. The only difference today is the awareness thanks to today’s internet and alternative media. If you are willing to listen and have your eyes opened, you will hear and see the truth.
The third poem is about whether you are prisoner in your life, in today’s society or if you are a free person. Being free person is very hard for anyone to become. Today you can become a prisoner very easy. You can become prisoner of today’s technology, just owning a sell phone could mean you are a prisoner...
Great post with beautiful poems!
