            The World

The world's a sick and twisted place
And going downhill fast
At a most alarming pace.
It seems the die is cast.

The world is full of selfish people
Doing selfish things.
Alas, was ever this the case,
The poor betrayed by kings.

The world, it seems, has gone way past
The point of no return.
The low, the sick, the base hold sway,
For change the needy yearn.

The world's priorites dismay
All meek, weak-minded folk,
Yet powerless they stay unto
The whims of Mars and Coke.

So now that a new age has dawned
And all that's sure is death,
Will trends reverse?  Will good prevail?
I wouldn't hold your breath.......
