Sonnet- What’s This World Coming To?

One foot’s enough to crush an ant most time; But many feet unite to kill an ant! What muscle-power’s wasted sheer in prime! “How foolish men can be! ” the ant would chant. Examples of this kind happen today; Mob-violence is killing persons poor; And militancy threatens, night and day; Who will become the innocents’ succour? And mighty nations crush the little ones; The powerful all join to thrash the weak; Attacked are men and women without guns! The future of the poor nations looks bleak. Unequals fight and challenge each other; The rich is pitted against his poor brother!
