This World Of Madness

This World Of Madness

2001 by Bud Lemire

Why does it seem, that the world's gone insane

When there are so many people, living in pain

They struggle their lives, to get by each day

When the love that they need, is so far away

Their past comes to haunt them, a slap in the face

And it seems in this world, there is no safe place

For negative forces, are to be found everywhere

And it feels like life, can be so unkind, so unfair

Not only in the world, but found right in our own backyard

For sometimes it seems, we are holding the Joker card

Its evil laugh, makes us suffer in sadness

And we wonder what happens, to cause such a madness

Can we let justice, be the injustice for all

Do we stand up for ourselves, or do we fall

I think everything in life, should be fair

But there are some people, who don't seem to care

Where is equality, for those who give all their best

They struggled so hard for peace, when can they rest

For those who are guilty, always roam free

In this world of madness, this shouldn't be
