The passion of people the suffering the pain
the trials of life of which none gain
the sadness the joy
mixed emotions which annoy
the trouble the despair is life going anywhere
the tears the fear poverty so clear
the crime and strife of everyday life
the emotional pain of life everyday
the sun used to shine but now it rains
as tears of life flood everyday
as the hope of peace slowly drifts away.
Words flow people breath
waves rush people see
poems rhyme people speak
life flows humanity grows
people die humans cry
crops fail people despair
lives lost do we care
people starve while we grow
taps turned on rivers flow
sun burns moon glows
tides turn world moves
cycle of life does it improve
as rich get richer and poor despair
jobs disappear does recession care
people are homeless begging on streets
lights switch goes out darkness creeps in
grids go down the world gets cold and lonely
earth shakes floods don’t care
rivers destroy towns and devastation everywhere
wars go on spreading death everywhere
pestilence runs riot disease hunger and fear
the world is running out of time
and life is at the mercy of gods will
and natures ferocity as powers beyond
take control of life and humanity.
What must I make of this life today
when all I see is sorrow and pain
the joy of happiness you take away
through making us work so hard each day
life is for living and haveing fun too
but you give us no choice
with high taxes and dear food
and astromically high bills
for greed and power you rule us too
and make people so poor
while you sit and laugh at us too
driving around in rolls royces and bentlys
haveing best food wine and great holidays
you live in great mansions and have spare homes by the sea
while normal everyday people live on edge of poverty
how is this fair it is tragedy
that greed has taken over and rules so brutally
what would it be like if life went into reverse
you wouldn’t be sitting up there on your big high up perch
you would create a song and dance too
we would never hear the end of it
if the rich suddenly were made to live
a life like poor people do
its such a shame you can see
life beneath you and face reality
of what the real world is like
with all the poverty.
Many years ago we had communism dictatorship s and east west split
but all the time it happening we had world peace and harmony
apart from cuban missile crisis which nearly blew a big fuse
for many year we went about our work each day
main players in life we knew were Russia and Nato and usa
people had jobs and many had homes too
and food it may not have be brilliant
but we knew where we stood in life
and in world order too
then one evening in 1989
in Germany something was about to change
people started gathering at Berlin
on each side of the great wall
people started chipping away
wall started crumbling and falling away
people climbed over and celebration
did begin .
what they thought was a start of freedom
was in fact the beginning of world we have today
disorder and disarray, greed, terrorism
and world disorder too
as since this day happened many years ago
world order has crumbled and started to fade away
people struggle more now to survive
get homes work and food to eat too
terrorism is rife with breakaway republic and country’s
causing such disarray
in world we live today
gone is that past its history
but just for a
brief moment in time we had world peace and harmony.
