What a Wonderful World

What a world we live in
What a species we are
So rich in enmity
And so poor in charity
What a world we live in
When we take a land
And provide bountiful luxuries
While other lands have not enough to share
And too many to feed
What a world we live in
Where we take the beauty around us
And consume it for ourselves
Take the purest things
And forever crush that beauty
What a world we live in
Where we take the ones that are different
And shun them
Humiliate them
What a world we live in
Where we have the audacity
To destroy life and replace it with robots
To discomfit others and call ourselves better
What a world we had
A world that was beautiful
Bountiful
Peaceful
What a world we live in now
Where everything is dying
And we
Our imprudent human race
Dare to call ourselves
Exceptional
