A Shameful World

A shameful world is all I see
with nothing more than misery
With haterd for the color of skin
while some can't even count to ten
War and war is what we do
fighting with the common fool
Why don't we put our ways behind
and try no longer to be blind
Shameful we our shameful we'll be
if we can't open our eyes to see
What a world this could be
if we were all truly free
