It Doesn’t Have To Be Like This
It doesn’t have to be like this!
We live in a world of guns, shit and piss.
The world is run for a precious few.
The rest of us can go screw.
While kids play in the sewage and waste
Others live on luxury yachts.
It’s a disgrace.
The wealthy and powerful control what we do.
Take too much and they take it off you.
It doesn’t matter that they have it all
They always want more and you’re just a tool.
Without a thought for the future or the misery they cause
They take centre stage to milk the applause.
Heartless, cruel, thoughtless and mean
They take what they want with no in-between.
But it doesn’t have to be this way
There’s more than enough to go around.
We can build a fairer, kinder world
If we can just find the common ground.
There are many of us and they are few.
With one combined voice we can start up anew!
It doesn’t have to be like this!
Opher – 27.3.2021
Having travelled the world and witnessed the poor living in unbelievable squalor, the destruction of the natural world and the contrast with those with immense wealth, it all seems so stupid.
It doesn’t have to be like this.
There is more than enough to go round.
We do not have to destroy the natural world.
We do not need this gross inequality.
We can all be happy and not destroy the planet.
It needs better organisation.
