Church bells heard through sirens Is all hope is dead Or is it hiding Modern society sickens me Daughters being pushed and bruised Mothers forgetting their babies Fathers drinking till the pale world falls to pieces What happened to honesty? Poise and laughter More gossip is read than gospel Is this where I have to bring my children, Into this unforgiving, unfair, unfortunate world Gavels bang as widows weep A gun fires as a child drops hopelessly to the ground Will this ****** ever end? Will peace ever be restored?
