It's a song
Affluence and gluttony
Staring blankly at poverty
Unemployment running high
Commitment in short supply
Trade talks have failed again
The deprived miss another train
Global train too much of a strain
Suicide: only relief from pain
**Chorus
And you know its not even mentioned in the news
Vicious circle continues
Would you even care to care?
Do you have some thoughts to spare?
Strings pulled from overseas
Shaping domestic policies
Another vetoed proposal
Experiences a free fall
Oppressors on the march again
Peacekeepers yet to be unchained
Vested national interest
Leaving mankind in distress
Plutonium being processed
At the expense of the dispossessed
Increased defense expenses
As starvation emerges
Smart bombs miss the mark again
Cremating the innocents
Reconnaissance flights fail to see
Suffering of humanity
