I’ve never seen the world so grim

The stars have never looked so dim

The light they give has faded away

It seems all hope has gone astray

All that’s left amidst the gloom

Is the promise of death and doom

Wars that never seem to cease

Money obstructing all efforts for peace

And whilst Climate Change is claiming countless lives

Those who could stop it claim it’s all a lie

Despite the fires and famine, flooding and drought

The people in power try to fill us with doubt

And as poverty worsens all around the world

The One Percent live in mansions of gold

The ego of men-  predominantly two, we’ll agree –

Making nuclear war a near certainty

I swear if I could, I would leave this place

‘Cause there’s no bigger threat than the human race
