The View Of Society


I wish I could change the financial situation of my town

For the homeless some say, others frown

More community service hours

More jobs, employment and towers

Better schools and city workers

My dad says as he smirks at her

I wish I could feed everyone, somehow someway

But people do not understand being given something without pay

World peace everyone agrees

Yet the military increases more than we please

Everybody talks about what they want accomplished

But are too afraid to stand up for what they believe in
