A New And A Better World

A new and a better World I may not live to see But the time is not far distant when all people will live free Of oppressive regimes and terrorism and greed and poverty For all of those poor victims of capitalism who live in penury. A new and better World may be a century away And I for one will not be around for to celebrate that day And though one hundred years may seem far off in time not a lengthy span Only the life time after all of one long lived woman or man. We may not be that far away in time when ageing people will recall We never thought we'd live to see the day of a fair go for all When people are not discriminated against due to their religion or race And in human society for poverty and oppression there isn't any place. A new and a far better World for me will come too late For time is ever ticking and the reaper for me wait But the day is not that distant when people in wars or of hunger will not die And a fair go is something that all people will enjoy.
