Another day

on earth

Another day on earth where
Nobody seems to be hungry
Not a soul is angry
Everyone is bailed out
Not just the fat cats
Or the brats
God is there for our laments
Not leaving them in tents
Out in the cold blizzard
The government of wizards
By the people, for the people
Will not leave out the feeble
Who set their home on hot air grills
While some enjoy their thrills
Your guess is as good as mine
Where no one steps on landmines
What is a life worth
Another day on earth
Or another day in paradise*
