What is this world coming to

What has happened where did we go wrong,
The world is falling apart where have our values gone.
Murder, theft and rape you see it on every page,
All these crimes committed by people in a rage.

The world is at war in many different lands,
What ever happened to people shaking hands.
The rulers of these lands are just being greedy,
They don't care about the hungry and the needy.

The world revolves around money and power,
With all the tin gods sat in their ivory tower.
What happens to the people you and me,
They don't care what will be will be.

The criminal has it all has more of a right,
Then the policemen who have lost their might.
It is time to change to turn this world around,
Let it be filled once more with love abound.

Zero tolerance that is what we need,
Make the criminals the law heed.
For the sake of our children make a better place,
A wonderful world for all the human race.
