I am in a mood,
and far, far away,
far, far away in my thoughts,
yes, it is another black day,
oh, come what may,
come what may,
and let the crows come down and peck out my eyes,
but, only in a metaphorical way,
because I am sick of all I see before me,
and all I see before me are wars and violence,
on the television,
and in the newspapers,
in the magazines,
and online,
and all I hear are stories on the radio of stabbings,
and shootings,
and violent robberies that tear global society apart,
each and every day,
and every day, I curse the loss of life,
and every day, the pain inside me,
because of what I see it grows and it grows,
and it does not go,
and so, the suffering,
and the torturing of families,
because of the loss of loved ones gets worse every day,
and oh, what has the world become today,
I do not know, and though I pray, though I pray,
what great evil there is in the world,
that has settled in so many hearts,
evil, that has left the world so dark,
it is a crying shame, a crying shame,
and why does it have to be, I wish I knew,
but why it is, I cannot say,
and of the horrors of violence,
how I hope that they go, that they go away,
because, how many tears have been cried,
how many tears have been cried,
more than all the oceans and the seas in the world combined,
and the atrocity of humanity,
it continues its barbarity, and it blights the Earth,
in increasingly more and more brutal ways,
and oh, how dark is each day,
darker than night in the minds of many,
who prefer the sun,
but alas, from the darkness of violence they cannot get away,
and why, why can't so many see that violence is not the way,
and why is it, why is it that so many fail to see,
that humanity can with education,
eradicate violence and hate from the world,
I wish I knew, and it is an awful act, any violent act,
and as they say, the whole world is a stage,
but it is covered in blood these days,
and the blood it soaks the Earth,
it soaks the Earth as if a flood,
oh, what a sad state of affairs,
that eats so viciously at the dreams of peace,
the dreams of peace,
that so many in the world wish for today.
