I feel that I have to say something
And say it clearly
Because it is so
Easy to forget
In these busy
And stressful times

And we all see​
The distressing
Adverts on T.V.
About
Starving children
Covered in flies
Who will die today
If they don't receive
Some help
Any help at all
The swollen bellies
The crying eyes
Covered with diseased​ flies
And their crying
Families that watch
Them for the
Slightest chance
That
Someone
Somewhere
Will
Care......
And  we ask
Ourselves
How has it
Come to this ?



Yet you keep voting Republican or Conservative
And​ the wheat and barley and butter mountains
Grow higher
And higher
Until they're pushed
Into the fire
Because your policy is
To throw it all away
If it doesn't make
A profit in some way

You would rather see
These strangers die
After all, they're not
Like you and I

Capitalism does not allow
People to make gifts anyhow
Everyone must pay their way
Even if they have nothing with which to pay
I don't believe in
GodBut I pray
  Global Revolution
Will come about someday

Aft all is that not what the Bible says
The rich will perish, the poor will take their place
I know I will not be around to see
But I will rest in my grave happy
Come the Revolution, Brothers and Sisters!!!
Kick Out The Jams!!!!! I
