What happened?

What has become
Of the world that we live in?
What have we done
To this gift we’ve been given.
We’ve filled it with war
And anger and hate
And life is unsure
And the streets are a state.
Brother against brother
And friend against friend
Child against mother
And will it ever end?
And all things pure
And beautiful and just
Have been replaced with war
Destruction and disgust
And children are crying
Yet no one wants to care
And people are dying
And our lives are unfair
And we can sit and weep
For how the world is now
We can cry and lose sleep
And we can sigh and ask how?
How indeed has it got like this?
Who is to take the blame?
For how the world is?
It is in fact us, who should feel this shame
For we are the fools
The ones who ruined what we had
With machinery and tools
War and all things bad
Why? Because we could
Because we were stupid and blind
Because we don’t do what we should
And were hateful and unkind
Some try help to the earth,
With an idea or a plan,
But what will it be worth?
If left to just one man.
We must help and aide,
We must at least try,
Or else let the earth fade,
And just wave good-bye…
