World No More

Greetings I come from Earth

I come from a world of love and hate

Where escape was a twist of fate

Where death was food for the living

Where giving was the gift unheard

I come from a world of bridges that divided

And where rivers were just streams where chemicals hided

I come from a world where skies were stools for pollution

And jails were the only solution

A world where the contribution is murder

And youth is the voice unheard

I come from a world of kings and presidents

Where no evidence is the truth control

Freedom of soul

Cold as the days turn old

I come from a world no more

I come from a world of rich and poor, fat and famished

Where children starve as others carve in a holiday meal

I come from a place where toys like guns and knives

Are gifts to a child's heart

A place where they taught you to believe in Santa Claus

But never taught you to believe in yourself

I love you self

I come from a world of order and disorder

Where crossing borders meant shot on sight

Where safety was night from a gunman's sight

I came to shed light

Couldn't we all get along?

I come from a world, I come from a world no more

I come from a world where millions marched

And sang songs to a different drummer for 200 summers

A world of poverty and majority

One line for minority and last priority

Secret sororities and membership only

Where elders die lonely

I come from a world where walls were torn while graves were

formed

Global warming was the warning that the last days were near

But no-one could hear in their ignorance

Only what you wear

Poisons coloured your hair and put holes in the atmosphere

Ozone layer

I don't wanna be a player no more

Where all you worried about was the score

I come from a world, I come from a world no more
