Turn the Devil On His Head

The world in sudden chaos,  
we hear the silent whispers but dare not say a word
Shrouded in uncertainty is our vision now so
blurred? 
We go about our business as if it all is fine 
But the world is full of messages, so hard for us to define 
The way we live has changed all helped along by us
And now it’s becoming difficult we all kick up A fuss.
 Hunger, poverty, displacements, genocide, 
Atrocities, war, suppression, oppression
To name but a few, 
It’s happening all over,
But that’s a fact we knew.
What’s happening in all The world 
is now sign of times
The devil will be paying for all his violent crimes. 
It’s always been a cesspit, this planet ruled by hate, 
By greedy power hungry sods who knows when they be sate! 
The hatred is exploding like rockets in the skies
The news and reporters blaming, trying to demonise. 
You cannot combat evil 
When you are fuelled with hate
The truth is what is written 
That is the human fate. 
if we all come together and offer peace instead,
We shall turn upon the Devil and turn him
On his head!!!!

You paint the world as a pretty corrupt and evil place Kilo, which of course it is, and always has been, but alas peace has been tried before many times, I think of the appeasement of Hitler for one, it didn’t work, in the end the world had to fight for peace, ok it’s not perfect, neither is democracy but it’s about the best we have at the moment, and I’m honestly glad I live in one, I do get what you’re saying, and hope peace will overcome in the end, cheers David
