Unequal

What's happening to the world?
Footballers are getting paid thousands a week.  While the poor are starving, so sick and 
weak.

Politicains corrupt and wrong.  Spending hundreds on business lunches.  Enough to feed ten 
people.

What happening to the world?

Countries fighting countries
brothers killing brothers
mothers killing their children
lovers chaeting on lovers.

What's happening to the world?

Aids, rape, murder and drugs.  Thugs,racism the list goes on.

I keep asking myself what's happening to the world.
