This world
 The town was so quiet there was no one about
 Just a couple of kids who were starting to shout
 Hey their mister can you give us a penny
 No said the man I haven’t got any

Were starving and cold the children did cry
 The man himself hungry did turn a blind eye
 He had nothing to give them what could he do
 Just tell his story to all of you

Once life was prosperous the future was bright
 Till along came greed bitterness and blight
 Soon there was nothing for our daughters and sons
 Only hatred and ugliness from the things we had done

Now we pay the consequences and we reap what we sow
 However on this earth did we stoop so low
 Only now with lessons learnt can we repair all the wrong
 And maybe in time our lives can be strong

The moral of this story is that we might learn
 How to love one another and show some concern
 This worlds not forever don’t ever forget
 Don’t give hate a chance or cause for regret
