A world with no joy!
The rent just got paid! Nothing left to buy steak! Finally, my light bill is caught up! Oh, I forgot back to the drawing board my job just got cut! Kids, I love them, but why should they struggle? Wow, how could, crooked, politicians speak about injustice? Another, racial name I was called! By a man the same color as me! I'm glad I love being African American, I'll weather their storm! These women, speak of love and wanting a husband! Yet, every time you talk with them there asking you for money, or cheating, what, a world, all they, see is green or color! How could you be proud to step on the next man? The ones who scream Jesus have no Jesus or love in them! Will things change for the better? Maybe, one day! For, now, all I see, is hate, and wars! Sad world, you can't even trust your best friend! The doctors are wicked, even they are for profit! As long, as you will pay, you are, in good hands! If not, you're, a bum, who's unwanted! It would be a great time for Jesus to return! I'm not the only one who feels this way, why strive to become great, when, others, will just take? The good guys, are hated! Sad and evil, the ways of the world! The worst truth, I ever had to learn! They see and care not! Feel the pain, then turn away while screaming your loss! How sad it is when fame is more important! In a world where some are lazy and just steal! Then wonder why there fan club, remains low and uncertain! Wake up America! They constantly burn us, on purpose!
