Molotovs explode, windows shatter But to them, it doesn’t matter. Their sheltered lives are bliss, while little children die, They sit in their bubble baths and let out a sigh. They burn their coal to heat their homes, While warplanes fly from aerodromes. They clink their flimsy wine-filled glasses, While the earth rots in a shell of gases. They talk of truth, peace and love, While praying to the skies above. They ask for good things, for themselves. While kids, teenagers, join cartels. They “Save The Seals”, but they are blind, The thing that needs saving is mankind. A thousand cry out, but they claim to be powerless. How would they feel if they were towerless?
