The Globe of Many Colors

I see the world decaying,

Cause the war pigs are out there playing,

Games with the earth,

What is the worth?,

Leaders are crossing esoteric battle lines,

While the DJs are spinning generic base lines,

Don't you think that they've crossed the line,

The president wants to break everyone's spine,

So for peace I call and hope and pray,

Wish that this world won't go away,

In empty opium fields the dead soldiers lay,

The price of war that they did pay,

So do you think you'll survive, the earth my ma,

Babylon is fading like the Sun God Ra,

But is the moon alive?, I say nah,

Bush is killing in the name of Jah,

And these contries try to negotiate peace, as their citizens get canned,

And what's left of the trees that once stood, just a twiggy strand,

And this globe of many colors, why can't it be more bland,

One color, blue for the sea, and one color green for the land,

 

for the most part i like it...some of the ryhmes seem forced though...

 

I've been playing in my head with a similar subject matter but haven't managed to grasp anything worth throwing on a page.

I agree with skyfire about the forced rhymes.

I really liked this line

"In empty opium fields the dead soldiers lay,
The price of war that they did pay"

 

I like it bro. I mean, lots of the rhymes are forced, and there was a bit of filler ("they did pay" is an example, because it's unnatural to say that and was only there to make the rhyme and rhythm work).

Still though, the poems idea and most of the presentation I really liked. And despite my previous criticism, i also liked the lines that Or's Well posted. My sig reflects your sentiments, and thus, I must agree
