The world is going mad.
We are told to stand still.

The same hands bless and take.
They have always known how.

God is used.
Hunger is explained.

Power eats in private.
Outside, the noise is managed.

They own more than countries.
We learn the number.
We forget the cost.

Nothing breaks.
Nothing stops.

The world is going mad
and this is called order.

Thanks Aly. I can not believe where we are now. It seems that the bloody mistakes and madness stored in humanity’s memory are set to be re-lived. Power and greed of the few meaning more than the needs of the many. Politicians use war and death as a play thing knowing that they’ll never see the front line. Billionaires can’t have enough money! Humanity is the most barbaric species on Earth. Yes there is good and always will be - but fascism is raising its head again and the people of power are letting it! Sorry, rant over!! Best regards.
