The People In the World

I used to think they wanted trees. The people in the world. I forgot that all they had was lawns. The people in the world. I thought they wanted animals. The people in the world. They killed off over half. The people in the world. I thought they wanted health. The people in the world. Half are now obese. The people in the world. They said we had to learn. The people in the world. We're learning from machines. The people in the world. They think the goal is peace. The people in the world. They're saying we're all different. The people in the world. Their time is getting short. The people in the world. The'll wait until the end. The people in the world.
