A Dying World
I have heard of African countries,
where there is little freedom.
I have heard of mass murderers
and evil dictators.
I heard of September the 11th
and Saddam Hussein.
I have heard of Injustice, apartheid
and famine.
I have heard of nameless hostages,
Their bodies bound and gagged.
I have heard of oppressed minorities
and the hopes of freedom they have.
I have heard of the White House and the
Kremlin too.
I have heard of arms talks and the lack of
good they do.
I have heard of brothers fighting brothers
and the killing that goes on.
I have heard of Jews and Arabs fighting
over their native land.
I have heard of Tanks, Missiles and Fighters
being used everywhere.
I have heard of side whiners,
how they fly through the air.
I have heard of evil dictatorships and
how their peoples despair.
I have heard of mass hunger,
Countless people starving everywhere.
I have heard of Angola, Ireland
and countless civil wars
I have heard of forced labour camps
and the world's poor.
Is there any hope for the world at all
When all we can think of is
exploitation and War.
When all that motivates us is
greed and power.
We mush change somehow or else
I fear for our very survival.
