This was really unique. The way how you put your perspective out there and then like on the last comment by ellentata, you can see how you just really opened that person's mind. He or she just commented that right after reading this, they started thinking about how much they take things for granted and that's a lot of people in this world, and the way made you someone realize that through what you wrote, was amazing. I applaud you for that!
All Im going to suggest is that, maybe you can just write "What have we done" only one time at the end. AND just keep on writing. This was very beautiful! Good job!

Thank you for the review!

Hello!

I just have to say that this was really good!!! It really made me think about the world. How I'm taking things for granted sometimes.

Hi! This is good! And i love how you have raised questions about today's world, and shown how we can, with the minimal effort, work together and improve our lives on the planet we call home.
I agree with FireSpyGirl with the repetitiveness of the last line. Now I'm not sure about this suggestion I am about to make, as it just instinctively came to my mind, but what if you change this couplet to "What have we done! What can we do?" i think this would add an element to the poem, but you are the judge here.
Otherwise, this is a really good poem, and i absolutely LOVED it!!!
Keep writing!
Hope you have a wondrous day!

Hi there!
This is a really good poem! I don't have much to say, as this is a perfectly executed poem! It speaks right to the readers heart. The only thing I would change is only have one:

"What have we done?"
Having two of them at the end is rather redundant. That was all!
Looking forward to more work from you!

Thank you for your review! I will definitely consider your suggestion for the last line. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
