These days babies are thrown aside.
Waiting in the dump, waiting to die.
Teens suicial and skinny as fuck.
Criminals loose and run amock.
These days, the world isnt so safe.

These days, food is scarce all around.
Poverty is world-wide bound.
Politics and HIV, childhood obesity.
Things grow worse by the second.
These days, Im scared to live.

Myspace conqurs the planet by storm.
What was good is now ignored.
Too many people living and
The end is coming near.

It's interesting. It holds a lot of truth. I think you could add on to it, though.

Some of the rhyming didn't match up really, I find a good hint to writing poetry is to read it out loud to yourself [especially with poems that rhyme] just to see if it all flows.
You had an interesting concept, but i think with more editing and time spent on it, it could be executed a lot better.

this is one of the rhymes that didn't really flow when i read it out loud, also I think that 'as fuck' could be changed for something else. Adding swears doesn't contribute much to poetry.
