What’s Wrong With the World?
What has Become of This sad And pathetic world A world We’re there Is no Empathy or compassion A world Of selfish people Who couldn't careless About anyone else But themselves And wouldn't Even help you If you Asked them What happened To the world That I Grew up In where People were Kind and caring And would Do anything For you Now days People are Only looking out For themselves And would give you A blind eye Even if You look At them For the Future of This world Is beyond Our control And if We don't Change what Happening in This world Then eventually Only God Knows what Lies ahead And there Mightn't be A world For us To live in We live In a Condescending and Denying world Cause I'm A strong believer In teaching Our children To live By peaceful means I'm also A strong believer In teaching Our children That hostility Isn't a solution But a problem
Plea for Peace
What I Can't understand Is the reason why The world leaders Aren't doing Anything to help those Who are Suffering in The hands Of man As so Many women And children Are trying Try to Flee From war And violence As quickly As they can Sure time Can pass by so quickly But yet We tend To forget about the children In third World countries Who are Dying from Malnutrition and disease And yet World leaders Are spending Trillions on Military weapons So they Can prove That their better Just because Of their Love For Power And greed And as world leaders do what They want And as they Put a Gun into A soldier's hand With the Aim to kill And as so many soldier’s sacrificed their lives And will One day Always ask This question still Why were They involved In a war That had Nothing to do With them And who Didn’t want To fight Against their own will And as The flag Is unfurled As we Remember those who lost Their lives And with So many Never made It home We’ll do What we Can to Keep their Memories alive But why Did we interfere In a war that Had nothing To do With us And maybe We shouldn’t of At the time And even Through they Sacrificed their lives For God And country To make Families proud Why did So many die So I hope One day You'll join us When the world Can live As one So that our Children can In a world without War or violence And hopefully We'll hear the sound Of children laughter again which was Once gone
Together as One
If only We could try And live. With each other So that We can All live As one A world Without war Or violence Or A starving child To feed But can you Tell me What has This world become And if only I could Put our Trust in The lord So he Can show us The path That we Must go on And one day Be an example For the Next generation And if We showed more Empathy and compassion Then maybe Would be A better place For everyone What has Happened to This world I wish I could Try to understand What future Has our children In a world That we Need to Change our ways If we can What would The world Be like Without Religion When we Should all Try Live In this World as one A world That hasn't War or violence And try To make An effort To get On with Our fellow man
Give Peace a Chance
Why world leaders
Do you
Happen to believe
That war
Is a solution
When all
It is
Is mans
Love for
Power and greed
As you
hide away
In your mansion
Not giving
A care
In the world
About a
hungry child
to feed
Who are
Dying from
Malnutrition and disease
Because they
Have no
Food to eat
Will you
Stop playing with
our world
Like it's
You're little game
instead of trying
To see
who's better
And who
Couldn't careless
About those
Who's suffering
from distress and pain
Why do
Put a
Gun into
The hand
Of a solider
With the
Aim to kill
As they
Do it
In honour
Of their country
Or even
Against their
Own will
Will you
Be held responsible
for the blood
That flows
From the
Soldier’s body
Just because
Of your greed
If only
You knew
How to live
In a
World without
War and violence
So we
Can all
Live as one
In a
World peace
Does Anyone Really Care?
Why is It that the only concern that Politicians have Is what They can gain As we Live in A world That has Millions of Children Dying from Malnutrition and disease And yet The richest Countries in The world Are spending Trillions on Military weapons And couldn’t Careless about Those who Suffer from Torment and pain What has Become of world Have we Lost the Ability to show empathy and compassion Towards our Fellow man? Or have we Lost the Understanding of love So we can live together In a world Of peace and love And make This world A better place again For we're One big Universal family And we Should show Our children The suffering that people have To endure But you can sure It's something That we'll probably Never see but we Need to Change our ways So we Can save The world From disaster And war What's happening In this world We might Never be Able to Understand the Reason why Could you You could Imagine a World without Religion or greed So that We can Live in peace And tranquility in our lives
