A child is born

Cry of uncertainty

Tear in mother’s eye

Searing heat

Unforgiving wind

Fly’s swarm

No rain, only pain

Crops fail, again

No food, no milk

Infant die

That tomorrow’s today away

That tomorrow’s today away

 

Low income

Job cuts

Food on table

Loan sharks circle prey

Rising crime

Selling drugs

Prostitution

Three part time jobs

Bills seeing red

Creditors in bed

Bailiffs

Repossession

Don’t worry its ok!

The total bankers get their bonus!

That tomorrow’s today away

That tomorrow’s today away

 

Child adopted, no choice, only choice

Child abandoned, no money to feed

Child sold to slavery

Child sold to science

Child sold to paedophilia

Rich country’s living off poor countries

Cheap food

Cheap labour

Paying/Giving them just enough to live on

Third world saddled with massive debts

Where are to tools to enable them?

Its modern enslavement

Let’s spend trillions, send man to the stars

Let’s spend trillions on weapons of mass destruction

It’s much better than clearing third world debt ��" isn’t it?

That tomorrow’s today away

That tomorrow’s today away

 

Prophecies from back in the day

The end of the world is;

2012: Mayan Calendar

2014: Pope Declaration

2028: Mystical Number 666i

2028: Asteroid 1997 XF11

2280: Quran Code

3797: Nostradamus

Pick any date from then until now

Mankind’s up for a bit of self-destruction

That tomorrow’s today away

Those tomorrow’s are for some, today

Can you smell the coffee, yet?
