Touch the fabric of the times,
Feel the blood from pointless crimes,
Hold the soil where children lay
And cry for wars the leaders crave,


Infants die from dirty water in the blood,
Walking scorching miles to swallow mud,
No arms no legs no house or rooms,
Our bullets blow them into early tombs,


Leaking dreadful radiation onto earth,
It mutilates our babies at the birth,
Losing eyes and bowls and hair,
Lungless toddlers grasp for precious air,


Steely chimneys suffocate the sky,
Oily waters watching birds and flowers die,
Mammoth forests are falling to the floor,
Tsunamis obliterate the poorest foreign shores,


We destroyed a nation in the blink of an eye,
Horrific mushroom clouds ripped and burned the sky,
Searing skin and vaporising bone,
Burning helpless bodies in their home,


The atmosphere holds bands of toxic gases
Sulphuric vapour falls in rain upon the grasses,
Tearing exospheric holes, ring the alarm bells!!
Polluting human skin with cancerous cells


Filthy needles invading adolescent veins,
Growing into robbers with defective broken brains,
Clouds of nicotine linger round our heads,
Blackened lungs and homeless bodies lie on concrete beds,

Touch the fabric of the times,
Remember those who stop the crimes,
The puppet soldiers kids and wives,
The rehabilitated addict loving life,


Don’t be just another shallow mind

Reach out…and change the fabric of our times…
