Why is our world so unfair?
Why does it give me a nightmare
To think of all that’s going wrong,
Things that shouldn’t continue for long.
A reason for war is what I’m looking for
Why should we go shoot each other?
Replacing love for evermore?
Let’s spread joy and peace, rather.
There are other problems to face too,
How about terrorism,
Or looking at prejudice which’s not true,
Like often practiced racism.
Why is it that people die of thurst
and that others starve to death?
How come that our system still’s not burst
And that we’ve not run out of breath?
People wandering about all those questions
Seem to have no suggestions
However, what needs to be done,
Is simply: love EVERYONE!

This is the task from the Blogging Challenge’s week 4.
I badly tried to insert paragraphs, however, everytime after having added them and having pushed the button “update” a box would show up, telling that a browser backup was differently which didn’t allow me to change anything.

I think your poem is quite good, especially the second part when you loosened up on the rhyme scheme. Do not restrict your thoughts by fitting them inside rhymes. They are not necessary and often hinder more than elevate your text.
