Auburn crows and trudging doves
Black carnations, scribbly gums
Cranking metals in a coal mine
Silent China, workmen don't dine

Icicles melting, India snowing
Children dying, old men sweeping
Dogs eat dogs, rats chase cats
Lakes are churning, men are crying

Infants suckling on wrinkled plums
Misers smothered by coins galore
The tilted earth is leaning further
Our home was green and grey it is

Our world is in a mess.
