The world still spins
As the missiles fall,
Splintering hearts and hollowing souls
The world still spins—
A bride turned widow,
A child left unloved
Sanity stripped away from
Mothers and sisters
The world still spins
Blood, sweat, and tears of the ones in uniform
Spilled for the rich and the immoral
The world still spins-
A body dissolves into the soil
As another cry pierces the air
Bodies pile and pile
All hidden in the eyes of the opulent
The world still spins.
And all that remains
Lies in the hands of the One who turns it
Round and Round
