Cruel World

The leaders of this world

Would have us all killed

We can never live in peace

Whilst they want their piece

Their piece of this world

No matter what the cost

As long as that cost

Is not their lives’ lost

For it is us; the poor

The world’s underlings

Who pay the price

For their insane meddlings

They send us to war

Whilst they ramble on

Fighting with words

Whilst we fight with a gun

So as we pay with our lives

They continue to contrive

Pretending to pay respect

As they continue to convect

Blowing ‘hot air’

With their hypocrisies

Thinking they are fair

With their unjust policies

Millions of lives lost

Sent to war time & time again  

Always at the cost

Of the poor man’s requiem
