Local means a country not just the neighbourhood.
Inflation keeps on rising as you struggle to increase your wages.
People look for the bitterness not the hope.
You can watch a show televised live from the other side of the globe.
Weather that affects one region ultimately affects them all.
The oceans are deep but can still be polluted.
The leaders say they listen but have their own ultimate goals.
Our children have to be stronger than we ever were,
Our world does love us but will not tolerate tantrums for long.
Saturn's Premier Poet
