A World Of Cowards

Fancy jets are flying Bombs are falling Killing innocent civilians And destroying homes Hotels, churches and tombs People are starving While dictators are trying To join the Martians Those heartless imbeciles Are ordering more bombs, missiles Bazookas and deadly weapons Which can kill more hungry children This is a world of cowards A world of liars and bastards Too many hypocrites are roaming The filthy streets and swimming In the toxic rivers. People want to live In a healthy and peaceful haven Nobody wants to leave Earth, yet they want to go to heaven They're afraid to deal with the torment Even church is no longer sacred There is too much bigotry, hate and hatred Too many criminals are under the tent There is no hope; this is eerily sad Things are not right, things are very bad The criminals are out of control And the judicial system is patrolled By corrupt, and crooked politicians Too many innocent citizens Are falsely put in jail This is awful, this is hell Bombs are falling Children are dying Babies are starving And parents are crying This is a world of cowards A world of liars and bastards.
