Blindfolded gagged Planet tied to a stake Only second remain Dreading the impending fate The firing squad aligns An all to familiar sight Human callousness and greed Wholeheartedly take aim The pendulum swings Moving Closer to your skin The worst has been feared Darkness Closing innocent eyes I can see the so called So called progress I can sense the fear Fear of the future Widespread starvation Screaming in poverties' choir The well endowed hold a match To this funeral pyre A terrible imbalance An incredible waste No direct experience Of famines taste Caught in the grind Of the plague of humankind These problems are not mine This pain is not mine I don't care if you live or die
