Half the World

Half the world hates what half the world does every day
Half the world waits while half gets on with it anywayHalf the world lives, half the world makes
Half the world gives while the other half takes
Half the world is, half the world was
Half the world thinks while the other half doesHalf the world talks with half a mind on what they say
Half the world walks with half a mind to run awayHalf the world lies, half the world learns
Half the world flies as half the world turns
Half the world cries, half the world laughs
Half the world tries to be the other halfHalf of us divided, like a torn-up photograph, torn-up photograph
Half of us are trying to reach the other half, to reach the other halfHalf the world cares while half the world is wasting the day
Half the world shares while half the world is stealing awayHalf the world lives, half the world makes
Half the world gives while the other half takes
Half the world cries, half the world laughs
Half the world tries to be the other half
To be the other half
