Attention, civilians and goverments
Our world is corrupt and dark
It is now wrong and broken
We've stripped away nature's bark

To the east, we have war
With soldiers dying and dead
And their wife and children grieving
For an unknown cause, yet to be said

To the south, we have poverty
Where water is treasure
And charity is the only helper
Will it stop? Never

To the west, we have economies crashing
With countries falling, and food prices rising
Our own country, falling into depression
With still the taxes, thriving

To the north, we have ice
Which is melting and gone
Spreading floods and chaos
Action is taking too long

So we must act now
To save our place
We've only got one
Point haste

Maybe when I'm old
With my eyes red and my hair grey
My heart taking it's last beat
I'll think, we should've saved the world, yesterday

Quite a good poem, I liked the last verse especially.

The rhyme scheme seems forced and clumsy.
