Fixing the World
One evening, I went to the market
to observe people was my target
some sad, some laughin'
some staring some stealin'
holding their tears and smiling wide
but I can tell when they hide
Headphones in the ears, Nobody cares
about the homeless man who fears
What am I Going to eat today?
Selfish are people, these days
While eating a great meal, nobody cares
about his hungry neighbor, with whom he could share
Back biting and Showing off loud
themselves is what they care about
Nobody asks how others are feelin'
No sympathy, no sharin', no carin'
Scrolling mindlessly through the internet
staning over celebrities who don't even know them
Being a fan of fiction, ignoring the reality
Those are the people I pity
keyboard warrior, on the Internet, inserts
No facts, just useless insults
The racists', The narcissists'
Eyes clouded, Mind covered in mist
Thinking they are the best,
They are superior over the rest
What has the world become today
I wish I could fix it, to god I pray
I wish the world becomes a place
in which, of hate, there's no trace
The world becomes a place where
About the poor, the rich would care
The world becomes a place when
Justice is needed, it's there and then
The world becomes a place what
I pray for, where Doors of evil are all shut
But how? I ask
it's a difficult task
With open mind and clear eyes, I see
The change begins with me
It all begins with correcting my own mistakes
for doing so courage is what it takes
Seeing my own flaws and doing good deeds
From me, this is what the world needs
I shall start a struggle to create peace
To make this world like heaven's piece
That's the concept I grasp to, That's the hope I chase
when I think about making this world a better place
