A Planet of Pain Part 2

Is it any wonder why this world is falling asunder? These days obesity is more common than hunger. Humans abusing, society’s confusing, Unfortunate drug addicts who can’t stop using. Daily stabbings in prisons, youths making bad decisions, Too many neglected children living in terrible conditions. Politicians taking bribes, evil armies wiping out tribes, People forced to take sides because religion still divides. Homelessness increasing, police not policing, Endangered species are rapidly decreasing. Droughts in Africa, madness in the Middle East, Millions living in the belly of the beast. Misogynistic attitudes in China, a barbaric one child policy, A crazy law invented by an evil ideology. And while we’re trying to achieve all our goals and dreams, Child prostitution keeps rising in the Philippines. So you can boast about your gold watch and your platinum chains, But there's children in Syria suffering from hunger pains. Suicide bombers in Afghanistan as young as six years old, Poor illegal miners in South Africa are still digging for gold. Girls force-fed in Mauritania hoping to marry a man, Many racial problems in America, it’s not just the Ku Klux Klan. Rising sea levels in the Maldives is a serious threat, Kids in Indonesia think’s it healthy to smoke a cigarette. Greenland and Antarctica’s ice is melting faster than ever, And this planet we call earth won’t last forever. Worldwide Genocide, millions have died from political lies, Unconscious minds please open your eyes.
