Our World

They walk the earth amongst us all
Though yet we never see
The painful look upon their face
At what we've let the world be

Guns and knives and drugs galore
Are free for us to take
But when it comes to feeding the children
One meal we cannot make

Each day another mother loses her child
As others just close their eyes
Everyone has become immune to death
Until it is their child that dies

A starving child walks the streets
Hoping for something to eat
As others rush by with their busy lives
Crushing the child beneath their feet

Families are living in the streets
The elderly are dying from lack of care
As others sit in their nice warm homes
Not caring whats going on out there

The angels sent down to look after us
Just walk the earth and cry
Knowing that there is nothing they can do
As they stand by and watch us let the world die
