All around the world today,
You can hear the people say,
" Thats unimportant, it can wait,
" We'll deal with it at a later date."

Is forever pushing things away,
To the back of Cupboard, Mind and Shelf,
Concerns of business, money and wealth,
Are argued over in Governments everywhere.
Things that are needed, such as Planet and Food,
Are ignored by men in power as they brood,
Over Banks and Elections forthcoming,
While populations die of military cunning.
This Planet needs a better life,
Free from Hunger, Death and strife,
Where first concerns are food and health,
And not the business man's dreams of wealth.
