OUR WORLD**

Angels whisper, spirits scream,
When all nightmares turn to a dream.
People pray, children play,
What has our world come to today?

"Why did daddy not return?"
Children ask as mothers squirm.
"The bomb took him away," they must say,
"That is what our world has come to today."

Katrina ruined many lives,
Parents lost kids, husbands lost wives.
As New Orleans became hell on Earth,
Houses were swallowed under the surf.
Everything is not okay,
Look at what our world has come to today.

Gas prices keep climbing higher and higher,
People claim the governments a liar,
For making all the prices soar.
Therefore the people roar,
"Why should we have to pay?"
Because this is what our world has come to today.

Third world countries beg for food,
If only we all understood.
With out stomachs full and pockets empty,
We should share - for we have plenty.
Now listen to what they have to say,
"Why is this what our world has come to today?"

if my words were written down

and thrown into the wind

i wonder if you’d hear them

and learn of how i sinned



if my words were written down

and tossed into the waves

i wonder if you’d find them

in the sea, their shallow grave



if my words were written down

and left there on the floor

i wonder if you’d pick them up

and try to learn some more



if my words were written down

and shouted from a hill

i wonder if you’d listen

a hope i wish you would fulfill



if i spoke my words to you

would you take notice or just leave

i wonder if you’d even care

or just abandon me
