The World We Live In

It is filling up with pollution, drinking water is getting lesser
people are throwing things out that, now, do not fit in their dresser
now, it is the place where you come to repent for your sin
and this is the world where we live in

it was once with glory of colors like blue and green
on it, for their need, every species could lean
now it has only the shades of black and grey
and every day in life, for each, is a new fray
we have changed this marble to a dust bin
just look at the world where we live in

once we filled this world with hope and joy
children once found content in the smallest of toys
but now its me before everything else
and there are gunshots where should be school bells
people, they, do not care if they lose as long as no one wins
and this is the world where we live in

Time, it was when women were considered pious and pure
but, of all that has happened, of their future
i am unsure
we are trying to tame the wildest of all
while we are out breaking all the moral walls
all that is left of the past is our forefathers’ kin
and this is the world we will have to living in

the people who had power and control in the past
they dedicated it to the good so that their name would last
but now power has new meaning, and this meaning is money
they live for this money and they kill for this money
the poor sleeps on ice while rich buy new Lenin
and this is the world we live in and
you will be living in

When tyranny grew wild in the past we brought revolution
our ancestors were the part of the human evolution
i hope you learn from them and make us proud
go save this world from wild power and
remember to be loud
i want you to save this world from being a metal tin
and bring the harmony to it as it was before
when real humans used to live in
