I Hate this World

I hate this world I'm living in
I hate it to the core
I hate this world I'm living in
Can't take it anymore

The hate that sparks a genocide
Does anybody care?
The theft, the lies, the cover up
Is there much more to bear?

I hate this world I'm living in
A place where children die
Abused, neglected, underfed
The world stands idly by

I hate this world I'm living in
The constant threat of war
I hate this world I'm living in
Where is that exist door?

I hate the trafficking of souls
Who are in desperate need
I hate the leaders who are blind
By power and by greed

I hate this world I'm living in
Where animals are killed
For sport or just for appetite
My cup of wrath is filled

I hate this world I'm living in
Where sex is monitized 
I hate this world I'm living in
Deceit's been digitized 

And yes there are some happy times
Where sun shines through the rain
These fleeting moments are so few
The residue is pain

I hate this world I'm living in
And though I rant and rave
It will not change a single thing
I have no strength to save

And so I struggle through each day
See nightmares every each night
Please make for me a world in which
The darkness turns to light
