I am thinking of a better world

One where everyone

Helps each other

And where peace and love

do not get hurled

Into hell when losers

Can’t be bothered

To follow science and art

that is curled

Like sleeping creatures

Charging a warm world

We can’t give up on humanity

**

One thousand years from now

Is it going to be

a barren wasteland?

Fires burning

No replacement 

The world keeps turning

But we’re faceless

Suffering numbers

Graceless

Tasteless

Remnants of a world we loved

**

I am thinking of a better life

One where we do our best

to help each other

And where peace and love

just seem more wise

No more hell when losers

Get too hot and

Can’t follow science and art

that guides

The waking creatures

Giving back to life

We won’t give up on humanity

**

One hundred years from now

Is it going to be

a barren wasteland?

Oceans flooding

No replacement

The world keeps turning

Few will face this

Dwindling numbers

Places

Makeshift

Remnants of a world we loved

**

Will we throw it all away

Because we don’t want to pay?

For life that costs us

To save someone else’s day

While all of our resources

In surplus

Are rotting fast, tucked away

We may have to

throw it all away

Just so that they can have their say

That they are superior

Saving help till it’s way too late

**

Ten years from now

Is it going to be

a barren wasteland?

Factories fallen

No replacements

The world keeps turning

We must face this

We still have numbers

Bases

Spaces

Chances for a world we love

**

I am thinking of a better Earth

One where everyone

Helps each other

And where peace and love

will have more worth

Far less hell where losers

Feel so smothered

Instead follow science and art

that is pure

Like every creature

Has a chance on Earth

We can’t give up on humanity

**

What about tomorrow

How can we escape

the barren wasteland?

Our life that’s thriving

No replacement 

The world keeps turning

Now we face this

Build up the numbers

Aces

Cases

Co-operation

for a world we love
