MAIMED:

Legless, armless, limbless, deaf-mute & very sorely blind,

Many our species have disappeared & some we cannot find,

Global warming, a poor old earth that is ailing & so very ill,

For which our sad consciousness is really the one & only pill,

Who is at fault & who is to be wrongly or so rightly blamed?

For our poor environment weeping, so sad & so very maimed.

Selfishness, corruption, bankers, investors & crooked politicians,

 Illiteracy, greed, hunger, many morticians not enough magicians,

Drugs, the dealers, the pushers, the addicts & so very many takers,

Not enough grain, not enough bread & far too few good kind bakers,

Where the hell is the good heart & where on earth is the logical brain?

This sorry universe wallows deep in lunacy & has gone totally insane.

Not enough funds for research we need, for illness & avoidable disease,

Where is education, employment & what of the warmth for icy freeze?

No rain, never enough water, contamination, some ruled by rulers unruly,

No more morals, no ethics, I´m convinced we can mend, can´t we, surely?

Finally appearing at the pearly gates, we´ll arrive dirty, marked & stained,

Hoping that the God we´ve lost on the way will not look on with sad distain.

Cruelty to all & sundry, such utter filth & dirty whores of known ill repute,

Arguments, fights & those golden promises that we rebuff & totally refute,

Sin our second name, do we have no pride? & what about our distant hope?

Or maybe we inadvertently hang ourselves with our own hand twisted rope,

We cannot continue this way, if all around us, all we see is suffering & pain,

So let us all spread a little love & embrace all on earth that is sorely maimed.
