This is what I proclaim…

The world is stuffed

I hereby proclaim

The world is stuffed

Too many politicians are taking aim

Too many people are being bluffed

That’s what I proclaim.

🔷🔷🔷🔷

I further proclaim

Man has done so much wrong

What we haven’t polluted, we’ve destroyed

And it's been going on for so long

The inevitable can’t be avoided.

🔷🔷🔷🔷

I further proclaim

It’s not a matter of “if” anymore

More a question of when

There is no opportunity to restore

The world will never be the same.

🔷🔷🔷🔷

I finally proclaim

The scars we’ve caused run very deep

The earth cries out in agonising pain

We followed the egotists like a flock of sheep

What a shame, we are all to blame.

That's what I proclaim…

🔷🔷🔷🔷

Till next time,

Calvin
