This world

This world
The town was so quiet there was no one about
Just a couple of kids who were starting to shout
Hey their mister can you give us a penny
No said the man I haven’t got any

Were starving and cold the children did cry
The man himself hungry did turn a blind eye
He had nothing to give them what could he do
Just tell his story to all of you

Once life was prosperous the future was bright
Till along came greed bitterness and blight
Soon there was nothing for our daughters and sons
Only hatred and ugliness through the things we had done

Now we pay the consequences and we reap what we sow
However on this earth did we stoop so low
Only now with lessons learnt can we repair all the wrong
And maybe in time our lives can be strong

The moral of this story is that we might learn
How to love one another and show some concern
This worlds not forever don’t ever forget
Don’t give hate a chance or cause for regret
