Our Broken World
Many years ago, when I was just a young boy
The world was a safe place there was lots of joy
But I'm a lot older now and a lot wiser too
And I've seen the evil that mankind can do.
But when you read the news or switch on your TV
There is no more good news or is it just me ?
I look all around me and this is what I find
A world that's full of evil that's terrorising mankind.
Men have twisted religion and suited it for their needs
They think Gods on their side and commit evil deeds
You cannot oppose them for they will likely kill you
You must go with their ways it's all that you can do.
There are many oppressed communities living in fear
They call out for help, but the world does not hear
But sadly, that that much needed help arrives too late
By then some communities have met with a terrible fate.
There is no prayer book that says it's okay to kill or maim
But they carry out evil atrocities in their 'Gods' name
Their 'God' must be an evil one not the one who is kind
They're brainwashed by others with a twisted mind.
But there's hope do look around you, and you will see
People doing many good deeds for others selflessly
It certainly helps restore your faith in humanity
And you think to yourself that's how it should be.
