Meltdown

The tears run down
a babies face
there is no happy town
all life is erased
no food to go around
at all in this place
I watch appalled
and want to embrace
this child so small
what a total disgrace .

Diseases abound
if death hasn't got them
he's sure to call around
the TV says to help them
you only need a few pounds
human life in meltdown
where joy is yet to be found .

This world is so messed up
it spins the wrong way around
dictators they dress it up
behind artillery sound
people in starvation
eastern earthquaking nations
are we in damnation
to not soon be around .
