A World of Liars and Cowards

Fancy jets and drones are flying Bombs are falling and raining Killing innocent civilians Burning and destroying homes Hotels, churches and tombs People are starving and suffering While dictators and cheaters are trying To join the Martians Those heartless cretins and imbeciles Are ordering more bombs, more missiles More bazookas and deadly weapons Which can kill more hungry and sick children This is a world of cowards A world of liars, backstabbers and bastards Too many hypocrites are roaming The filthy streets and swimming In the toxic rivers. People want to live In a healthy and peaceful haven Nobody wants to depart, to leave Earth, yet they want to go to heaven They're afraid to deal with the torment Even church is no longer safe and sacred There is too much bigotry, hate and hatred Too many criminals are under the tent There is no hope; this is eerily odious and sad Things are not right, things are very bad The criminals are out of control And the judicial system is patrolled By corrupt, spooky and crooked politicians Too many innocent citizens Are falsely and wrongly put in jail This is awful, this is hell Bombs are falling and exploding Children are wailing and dying Babies are starving and expiring And parents are crying and resigning This is a world of nerds and cowards A world of liars and bastards.
