Our World Today
Why is it in this world
People never can agree
There’s bigotry, prejudice and hatred
Around us, so clear that all can see
People argue and fight to prove
That there way is correct
With no room for compromise
To them there is no doubt
That they are the chosen ones
They speak with their God direct
Who has given them a special right
To denounce others who would dare,
Question the infallibility, of one so fair
Expect no justice, peace or freedom to exist
It never can, it never will, until we can agree
Were not just nations but a world-wide community
That looks after all its peoples where ever they may be
Which ensures that all respect the rights of humanity
