Today
Cruelty flies
Humanity lies
Loud sighs
Painful cries
Corruption in action
Reduction of passion
Loss of truthfulness
Growth of madness
What does the world know
Who made the good go
What happened to everything
What more could the people bring
All of the minds are corrupt
All of the values are mopped
Poor youth of today
Destroyed in every way
Today I pray
For this world to find a way
Almost lost all my hope
Like a man hung on a rope
Today is nothing new
Things were never true
Once my precious trust
Now have turned to rust
Today I have a wish
For all conflict to diminish
I had wished it was the end
I was so tired to pretend
Today I wish the best
For all to pass on life's test
Because I still have faith
That a better future we can create
Today is just a day
And yesterday had passed its way
So now I will just say
Oh well, tomorrow's another day
