Beautiful World 8/31/2011


It's a beautiful world we live in...
      We walk through alleyways stained with blood,
      Thirsty families straining water from mud.
      Bullet shots being fired in and on the street,
      Obesity's a problem, yet nothing to eat.
      We see the government supported genocide
      On land with nothing to give, so we turn a blind eye.
      The stench of the oil spill lingers on the beach.
      They drown out their lies with another deafening speech.
      Everywhere now, torture and war are the norm,
      Ignored are the cries of the hungry children born.
      Only money is needed to pass a bill,
      If global warming won't kill us then our hatred will.
It's a beautiful world we live in...
     We walk through sun kissed emerald trees.
     Multi-racial families living in peace.
     Laughter rings through paper thin walls.
     Friends pick us up, every time we fall.
    We see neighbors lending a helping hand
    on the torn-down, devastated, broken land.
    The salvation army smells of a fresh apple pie.
    The people fight for truth and tear down the lie.
    Love and life pervade all the homes,
    no one's forgotten, no one's alone.
    If we shared, everyone would get their fill.
    We have to save this now, and with our love, we will.
It's a beautiful world we could live in.
