The Devil Must Be Laughing

I had a nightmare dream,
Scary and oh so long.
Blood and murder
And the whole damn world
Went wrong.

Then I woke up
And read the papers
And the Devil
Sang his song.

So many dying
For there ain't no middle ground.
Those fanatics
Are killing innocents.
All around.

There's just too many
To count the bodies
And so many
Can't be found.

It's a deadlock
And the victims multiply.
No solutions;
No sense or reasons why.

And all the children
They're taught in new ways
That could make
Our mothers cry.

That old Devil is laughing,
With a big smile on this face.
We're losing battles
In endless wars
That have no place.

Intolerance and
Mass murder:
So God help
The human race!
