World No More

Greetings... I come from Earth

I come from a world of love and hate
Where escape was a twisted fate
Where death was food for the livin'
Where givin' was a gift unheard
I come from a world of bridges that divided
And where rivers were just streams
Where chemicals hide in
I come from a world where skies were stools for pollution
And jails was the only solution
A world where the contribution is murder
And youth is the voice unheard
I come from a world of kings and presidents
Where no evidence is the truth controlled
Freedom is sold cold as the days turn old
I come from a world... no more

I come from a world of rich and poor, fat and famished
Where children starve as others carve in a holiday meal
I come from a place where toys like guns
And knives are gifts to a child's heart
A place where they taught you to believe in Santa Claus
But never taught you to believe in yourself
I love you, self
I come from a world of order and disorder
Where crossing borders meant shot on sight
Where safety was night from a gunman's sight
I came to shed light
Couldn't we all get along?
I come from a world... I come from a world no more

I come from a world where millions march and sing
Songs to a different drummer for 200 summers
A world of poverty, a majority, one
Line for minority and last priorities
Secret sororities and membership only
Where elders die lonely
I come from a world where walls were torn while graves were formed
Global warmin' was the warnin' that the last days were near
But no one could hear in their ignorance
Only what you wear, poisons colored your hair
And put holes in the atmosphere ozone layer
I don't wanna be a player no more
Where all you worried about was the score
I come from a world... I come from a world no more
