What's the Matter with the World.

What´s the matter with the world,

has the world gone mad?
But there’s nothing wrong with the world…
it’s just us, the people that are in it.

You can depend on the sun to arise every day

while the moon follows suit in the evening
with one not disturbing the other…
But you can´t even rely on things people say.

Rain falls from the sky to nourish the earth

which, in turn, grows foods to enrich life.
Everything is in harmony with Mother nature
except you and me and our inconsistencies.
We are rarely in consonance with each other
due to bad blood, negativity and backstabbing. 

Therefore,

I want to know…
what’s really the matter with the world,
has the world gone mad?

(Adapted from Lou Rawls’ classic song, “What’s the Matter with the World?”)
