Left Behind (Third Worlds)

In pursuit of gold And platinum and wealth The seat of humanity was dismantled And a big hole was left behind It is not an empty hole It is full of people The poor, the sick and the vulnerable Women and children The mentally impaired and the disabled A whole lot of countries and nations Third worlds occupy this forgotten space It is a massive hole Capable of swallowing a continent even a planet It is the vandalized house of humanity Left behind in tatters It has neither structure nor orientation It is wallowing in a whirlpool of confusion It was fed democracy as a remedy It spewed out big chunks of democracy And left a few pieces of mangled remains of the Roman-Dutch law It is through this outdated manuscript that the big hole is managed It does not allow any form of reforms, re-inventions or revolutions It is frozen on the surface of time
