WHEN THE WORLD WAS GREEN

We humans made the mess of the world that it is today,and for all the stupid planning,raping and pillage we have done,we now pay the price,but long ago ,when the world was green----aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh


WHEN THE WORLD WAS GREEN,
AND NOT OBSCENE.
NOT COVERED WITH MANS SCARS,
BEFORE THE DAYS OF BIG MACHINES
OF TRAINS AND MOTOR CARS
A TIME WHEN WE COULD WALK AROUND
BREATHING IN FRESH AIR.
WHEN CHILDREN WOULD ALL LIVE THEIR LIFE
WITH NO NUCLEAR FEAR.
WHEN MAN WOULD TAKE FROM THE LAND
ONLY WHAT HE'D NEED.
BUILD HIS HOUSE,AND LEAVE THE REST
BEFORE INDUSTRIAL GREED.
NO THOUGHTS OF BIG MOTOR WAYS
CUTTING THROUGH OUR HILLS.
NO SPREAD OF AIDS,NO SEX DISEASE
OR ANTI-BABY PILLS
NO RUNNING FOR ABORTION
NO RIPPING LIFE APART
OR NIPPING NATURE IN THE BUD
BEFORE A LIFE CAN START.
NO WAY,WERE WE A NUMBER
PRIOR TO COMPUTER AGE
BEFORE THE DAYS OF BLACK AND WHITE
ANTI-APARTHIED RAGE.
NO SEX ,NO DRUGS OR ROCK AND ROLL
NO QUEUING FOR THE DOLE
NO LIBERAL,LABOUR ,DEMOCRATS
NO VOTING AT THE POLL.
THE DAYS WHEN LIFE WAS SIMPLE
THE WORLD UNTOUCHED AND CLEAN
THE TIME BEFORE MAN CAME ALONG
WHEN THE WORLD WAS GREEN.
