By Steven Godfrey This planet that we live on , a dot in outer space Some people on it , don't belong to the human race Dictators , politicians , murderers ,kings and queens They cannot live without power and extract it by any means Thank god I'm just passing through a smaller dot am i I would not want to live forever, i could give you many reasons why So much suffering , oppression ,cruelty and hate That's just in one news bulletin each morning before eight These leaders think they are above us all , that's where mankind has gone wrong It's true people need guidance in life ,but to many are just dragged along No respect earned , is a result of none being shown Give people direction let them know where we are going Until attitudes change and people learn to trust Only will our lives improve and not be so unjust From politics to religion it really gives me the bird Everybody's shouting , but the real people are never heard .

It made me think, which I loved. It rhymed well and was really honest. Everything stated is sadly true.
