A Revolved World


Since long known

The world has shown

Some very horrible things

We have faced many obstacles as human beings

This world needs a change

 

We struggle universally with poverty annually

Mothers worrying how to feed their family

Some people can’t even afford to have a decent meal

Many are tempted by their anguish to steal

This world needs a change

 

In the cities lies streets full of criminals

Such cruel individuals

Jails just keep getting crowded

Some are innocent prisoners that should never have been allowed in

This world needs a change

 

Children are becoming lost in technology

Some don’t even know how to write a bibliography

Too much time is being spent watching t.v.

Minds are becoming more and more empty

This world needs a change

 

So let’s open up our eyes and see what the world has come to be

We can make it right with devotion and harmony

One difference can change a century

The world can be full of what it is meant to be

This world needs a change
