It’s Not A Wonderful World

I see love killed by families

Kindness corrupted in holy places

Compassion poisoned in hospitals

Knowledge disabled in schools

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world!

I see creativity sold to the highest bidder

Justice cruel inside courtrooms

Freedom censored from the textbooks

Peace gangraped inside parliament houses

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world!

I see happiness auctioned to war mongers

Courage panicking right on the stage

Anger equated with rebellion

Wisdom losing it all in rage

Violence glorified as heroism

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world!

I see nature deliberately being harmed

I see children burnt alive

People forced out of their homes

War replacing politics

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world!
