Tick tock tick tock
Time ticks away
Soon will come the end
Of another hate filled day

Another murder, another rape
The carnage never ends
Another child molested
Another politician condescends

Another brutal dictator
Butchers and destroys
Another antiquated government
Comes up with useless ploys

Another earthquake or flood
Another fire or war
It’s like the local news
Covers nothing more

Is there nothing left but hate?
in this wretched world
Are violence and anger?
All we have left to hurl?

Is there no love?
Left in the land
Nothing of neighbors
Lending a hand?
