What Have We Become ?

What has happend too the way we think and what we value.

                              We worry about Politics

   Money

     and

     War 

                              We fight for stupid things

                                  like Oil and Land  

                               But cant our Leaders 

                                    give us a hand 

     No

                                     They cant   

                                    Understand

                                  they're worried

                                 about Economy    

                                  They're Blind 

                                    Oblivious  

                                   They cant 

                               see the Suffering

                                    the Pain  

                               they have Caused

  Us!

                                They cant see

                               they're too busy

                                    Arguing 

                                      Lost

                                 In their Greed.... 

                        Our leader's sit behind desks 

                                     Blind

                                  Oblivious

                                    Open

                                      up

                                 your eyes

                                     Too

                                     see  

                                   Whats

                                  In front

                                     of

                                    you

                                 Wait you

                                   cant 

                                   Your

                                 Blinded

                                    by

                              Your Politics

                                  Greed

                               And Economy

                                   War

                             Is your Pestilence 

                                  Cant

                            They see their

                              Ignorance

                          Everything They've

                               Created

                                  is

                             Crumbling  

                                 And

                             Tumbling

                            This Empire

                             They've

                             Created

                                is

                          Crashing Down 

                             around  

                              them 

                             Before

                             they're 

                              very

                              Eyes!!!!

                                I

                              Fall

                               to

                            my knees
