Noxious intent brews
rampant callous endeavors
toxic news flare up
flames of greed engulf mankind
the world burns, inhales vile ash.

Perfect description of the problems we are experiencing worldwide! Very well-written and impactful! Great photo too. We should not become so involved in our own personal concerns that we become complacent about how dire circumstances are.
Great poem, Radhika! ❤
