Do we really want to live in a world<\/p>\n
Where the remains of cops<\/p>\n
Are sold in butchers shops<\/p>\n
As dog meat<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Where pollution is expected<\/p>\n
And accepted as the norm<\/p>\n
And global warming<\/p>\n
Is dismissed by the few<\/p>\n
To the hurt of millions<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do we really want to live in a world<\/p>\n
Where corruption is rife<\/p>\n
And acceptable<\/p>\n
Where the rich get richer<\/p>\n
And the poor get poorer<\/p>\n
Is this what we want<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do we really want to live in a world<\/p>\n
Where free speech is banned<\/p>\n
And the limitation of language is enforced<\/p>\n
By the brutal cops of smiling leaders<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do we really want to live in a world<\/p>\n
Where wars are fought over religions<\/p>\n
And worthless deserts devoid of sand<\/p>\n
No No No No No<\/p>\n
I do not want this world<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I work in a butchers shop<\/p>\n
And am getting tired<\/p>\n
Of skinning dead cops<\/p>\n
For canine consumption<\/p>\n
When from my window<\/p>\n
I can see people<\/p>\n
Starving on the streets and eating rats<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is not the world that God created<\/p>\n
We have abused his deep love<\/p>\n
May a pestilence be brought down upon us<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
