Let me tell you something

Let me tell you 
That the world is broken
That the rich have spoken
Let me tell you 
That there is no hope left
That the world has gone deaf
Let me tell you
That morals have vanished 
That people are famished 
Let me tell you
That we will always have tea 
That others aren't so lucky 
Let me tell you
That I've tried and failed 
That greed prevailed 
Let me tell you
That the mean have power
That the lovely are lower 
Let me tell you
That we should keep trying 
That people shouldn't be dying 

Not on our watch. Let me tell you. 
Let me tell you that we should listen. 
Let me tell you that the world can glisten. 
Let me tell you that it can be different. 
Otherwise we're just in prison.

Lots to think about here Aishah. Like many of us I have lots of answers to the world's problems but how to go about changing anything? The solutions are so simple yet seemingly impossible to put into practice.

Let's hope the lovely people can one day make the world glisten. It's a hope worth clinging to. Thanks for posting.

Colin.
