There is poison in the air we breathe There is poison in the food we eat There is poison now in the mind of men There is poison in the writer’s pen Poison may spew from the way you talk Poison is shown when you strut and walk Poison is there when you gossip about others Poison is visible when you stab your own brothers Poison in your heart when avarice is there And you covet, but do not want to share Poison in minds of leaders of our world Poison in the hearts when missiles are hurled Wherever you turn, poison is there World is bereft of Sympathy and care Let’s realize that we are sealing our doom Unless we find a cure very soon

Poison
There is poison in the air we breathe There is poison in the food we eat There is poison now in the mind of men There is poison in the writer’s pen Poison may spew from the way you talk Poison is shown when you strut and walk Poison is there when you gossip about others Poison is visible when you stab your own brothers Poison in your heart when avarice is there And you covet, but do not want to share Poison in minds of leaders of our world Poison in the hearts when missiles are hurled Wherever you turn, poison is there World is bereft of Sympathy and care Let’s realize that we are sealing our doom Unless we find a cure very soon
