Save Our World (A clarion call)

by Adedayo Erivic aged 16

Our affable progenitors lived in aura of serenity and rapport for ages,
for aeons they enjoyed a secured ambiance even without military aegis,
they enjoyed halcyon and seraphic moments just like innocent and harmless babies,
but now corruption and violence is at its climax like a widespread wave of rabies.

Our schmucky and reversely sedulous government shirk their responsibility and render us vulnerable,
they beguile, exploit and inveigle us in a way that is quite intolerable,
precursors of Armageddon who claim not to be culpable,
and always airing the embers of violence and corruption believing to be politically capable.

The Earth, our only residence, is barbarously battered,
horrendous actions of debauched recidivists render us paranoid and shattered,
we skitter and doggo at the sight of horrid turpitude and our emotions become scattered,
and our antecedent tranquil universe becomes a rumbled history that can never be gathered.

Sassy- goal-worthy brigands saunter and sashay with much gusto in daylight,
they ride and own sumptuous assets which they accrued from their calamitous activities at twilight,
turning the living to cadaver is, however, their utmost delight,
and, with their nocturnal escapades, they turn our peaceful world into a human abattoir and they have no insight.

The world is now a cryptic hamlet that we cannot fathom,
where rancorous gadflies nuke and massacre one another with Semtex at random,
where the idle and sinecure expectant nincompoops suddenly rise to stardom,
and the patriotic hard-working fellows become skivvies and factotums.

Let us all rise to our greatest responsibility,
let us all abide en masse without rancour and enmity,
let us salvage and rejuvenate our effete world in unity,
and let us cleanse our world of all forms of impurity.

Let us free our world from all turpitude and skulduggery,
let us abhor savage acts and armed robbery,
let us pleasure not at the sight of gory skirmishes and thuggery,
and let us, altogether, heal our world and stop feeling sorry.

    Thank you sir and I honestly say that I love the correction you did concerning my poem. Thanks so much sir. I wanted to file this up for the recently ended competition but its a pity it ended before I posted this. All the same, having my work published is cool. Thank you sir and more power to your elbow.
