Mess

What a fine mess are world is in 
Are polluted skies hazy and dim
War destruction decaying limbs
The waters not safe for fish to swim
What a fine mess were living in 

Are streets are now not safe to walk 
Watch what you say watch how you talk
Smallest thing can get you shot 
Drugs and weapon's so easily got

What a twisted world we live in 
Valuable ID is who's next of kin
A sorrowful shame a tearful sin 
How do we change this world were in
