Uhhhhh Idk
Verse 1:
People built civilizations,
But made some grave miscalculations.
Economics, they thought, was key,
But gave money value recklessly.
Verse 2:
Politics, they said, could solve it all,
But added people to situations that made them fall.
Science, they believed, held the truth,
But endangered animals for knowledge that was uncouth.
Verse 3:
Mathematics, they claimed, was the answer,
But used it to create weapons of cancer.
It fixed some problems, but caused others too,
And our flawed system is now in view.
Verse 4:
Psychosurgery, they thought, could cure the mind,
But it left perfectly sane people in a bind.
Procedures meant to heal, instead caused pain,
And made them fall into insanity's domain.
Verse 5:
Not all issues can be resolved,
And the longer we stay, the more flaws are involved.
Like dividing by zero, or raising zero to one,
Our civilization's problems cannot be undone.
Verse 6:
Our civilization may be flawed,
But that doesn't mean we should be awed.
We have the power to make things right,
To use our knowledge to end the plight.
Verse 7:
With collaboration and empathy,
We can make the world a better place to be.
We must learn from our mistakes,
And strive to heal the world's heartbreaks.
Verse 8:
So let's work together, hand in hand,
And create a future that is truly grand.
For the flaws in our system, we can find a way,
To make things better for each passing day.
