People around have become so bad The constant need to make others sad Will my children have much more Or by then will we drag along the floor People now live terrible life's Living on streets waiting to die Are we to stand and watch What use are we? We can only read and live through these stories I'd like to hope it would get better A home for all No one need fall Food to eat Friends they can meet Will my children watch this change For better For worse Or will there be nothing left in the purse Has the world become so bad a place That no one will ever wear a smile upon their face.
