Ten In 2010

Parched, cracked mouths, empty swollen guts
Sun-baked pavement encroaches on us
Haves and have-nots together at last
Brutally engaged in mortal combat
Ten in 2010

What kind of God orchestrates such a thing?
Ten in 2010
Ten billion people all suffering
Ten in 2010
Truth is not an issue just hungry mouths to feed
Ten in 2010
Forget what you want, scrounge the things you need

Happy and content it can’t happen to you
Ten in 2010
Fifteen years we’ll think of a solution
Ten in 2010
It won’t just appear in one day
Ten in 2010
For ten in twenty-ten we’re well on our way

Like piercing ear darts, I heard the news today
Ten in 2010
Ten billion people, coming your way
