What In The World Is Going On!


What is going on in this world today,
Everyday I read of another murder,
another evil we can't keep at bay.

I see all that horrible news on T.V.
of robberies, and fatal crashes
Wake up America! can't you see?

The gas prices are out of sight,
and our children go to sleep
hungry at night.

Some people say our economy is
at its best,
So why do they not see apart
from their own nest.

What in the world is happening
to our country?
The poor is getting restless
it's scaring me.

The rich turns up their nose,
they don't care,
They snicker as the hungry
child stands and stare.

Our son's and daughter's go
off to war to fight,
Some come home, while others
fade from our sight.

What in the world are we
gonna do?
When children shoot others
because they have no
clue.

Brother against Brother
Sister's gone astray,
Mom's and Dad's don't
always stay.

Strangers stay strangers
Friends do betray,
We all hope for alittle
sunshine along the way.

Stop and smell the rose
along the path,
Sit down with your child
and do the math.

Hold on to the little things
that nobody else cares for,
For someday out into the sky
they will soar.
