World now stuck, a poem by Professor Ikechukwu Benjamin Ezeohagwu

I
World now,
in rubble,
with so much,
noise.

II
World now,
in tremble,
without such,
poise.

III
World now,
in rumble,
with so much,
trouble.

IV
World now,
in fumble,
with so much,
tumble.

V
World now,
in crumble,
without such,
humble.

VI
World now,
in bubble,
with so much,
babble.

VII
World now,
stuck,
with so much,
struck.
