What a sad place this is,

This world which we live in.

Where the smart are punished

The clever are isolated

And the talented are mocked.

 

What a sad place this is,

This world which we live in.

Where hate is approved

And love is refuted

And war rages amongst kinsmen.

 

What a sad place this is,

This world which we live in.

Where there is sex but no love

And love with no sex

And children growing up parentless.

 

What a sad place this is,

This world which we live in.

Where good men die for strangers

And bad men laugh at deaths

And every man could keel over at any given breath.

 

What a sad place this is,

This world which we live in.

Where everyone runs through the tunnel

Straight towards that speck of light

And the sunshine fades into the deep darkness of night.

 

What a sad place this is,

This world which we live in.

Where love is lost

And hope is gone

Yet everyone still calls it “home”.

(k.e.b.)
