The Modern Minuet
the modern minuet*
they're dying in Africa
people starving again
global warming is everywhere
and hate is engrained
the Sunnis hate the Shiites
the Shiites hate the Jews
the Jews hate all Muslims
and on goes the news
the EU is pissed at Greece
Greece in same boat with Spain
want to voyage to the Americas
and start all over again
the hackers hate governments
the governments hates the press
the press fuels the citizens
and citizens hate the rest
They're dying in Africa,
there's still strife in Iran.
What we don't do to nature,
will be done to our fellow man.
