Today

Way back then
A time long passed
Way back when
The sun seemed to last

The world seemed like a playground
It was the time insects were found
The days full of laughter and happiness
Yearning for ice-cream and toys

The words didn't mean to us a thing;
Racists, discrimination
Murder, overpopulation,
Global warming.
We worried about a house warming
And when we could see our friends again.

Today as I eat behind a beard
There are no words most feared.
Racists. Rapist. Murder.

We walk in fear in the night
Too scared to start a fight

One wrong word could make you a
Racist!
A nice girl you met in the coffee shop a
Murderer!
Your work environment is based on
The colour of your skin?

The battlefield, our world
In which everything nowadays folds
Are filled with scaredness hatred dread
Murderers yearning for the dead

Way back now
A time so clear memorable
We know
Our society and world is not stable
