I believe it is safe to say

That the world is flawed – very flawed

In many different ways

Money comes before love

And hardships are brushed aside

We'd rather cage a dove,

Continue to live a lie

Society denies the people who need aid

Until I am left wondering

When everyone will wake

And interrupt the world's tirade

Politicians see greed, instead of what's right

They run towards riches

Feed hatred and fire to the fight

A life in their hands, is a dollar to spend

How long will this continue?

When will this finally end?

If only the world woke, if it knew

Could the lonely receive a friend?

Someone true to their word

Unhindered by temptations

Keeping their path to what's right

If someone like that came around

Would we be able to see the light?
