'This ain't rock'n'roll-this is genocide!- David Bowie, from 'Diamond Dogs' -A Century 21 production.. CENTURY 21 Glittering towers and Twisting spires of glass and marble Wretched slums and poverty It's the 21st century... Deep space probes And everything-o-phobes High class jet-set And a child with no shoes It's the 21st century... Civil wars And satellites Dropping bombs And human rights It's the 21st century... The height of Human history And stolen kids and misery With politician parasites It's the 21st century... Great strides In technology And vast disease And travesty It's the 21st century...

About this poem:
The hypocrisy and contradictions of our world in century 21...vast knowledge, huge wealth, yet war, poverty, disease and suffering are rampant, while others enjoy fantastic comforts and luxuries...
Hi Ronnie - the world is a very imperfect place and life is never fair unfortunately (I wish it was). As one person I can only do so much but I do try to help others as much as I can through my church and other charities I give to and prayer. Thanks for sharing.
