What a Wonderful World

Nice little cheery post here. It's an adaptation of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World", based on what would happen if Iran and North Korea successfully developed nuclear weapons.

I see trees with no leaves........ no flowers too
I see them burn..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of black..... mushroom clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark hellish nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

The colors of the fire.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends wringing hands.....saying.. what do we do
Theyre really saying......I loved you.

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
Theyll learn no more.....and I'll never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world

(instrumental break)

The colors of the rain.....yellow ..in the sky
Are there on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends wringing hands.....saying.. what do we do
Theyre really sayin...*spoken*(I ....loved....you).

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
*spoken*(you know they'll never learn
A whole lot more than Ill never know)
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself .......what a wonderful world.



Come on, boys and girls, when will we ever learn?

Climate change, failing resources, lack of the government's will to invest in new energy sources (Sorry, George W. Butthead - as every other country has ratified the Kyoto Protocol), nuclear weapons (Sorry George W., but why did you pull out of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and then try to force other signatories of the treaty to abide by it?), war (Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and the unfortunately ignored Sudan and Rwanda, ignored because they have no oil), terrorism (not just Islamic, we have Christian terrorists, too, plus the 'Aryan Race' Nazis), and hatred of everyone that does not have the same flag, religion, or skin colour.... We are destroying this planet. It's like setting fire to your own house and locking the door with you and your own family inside, as we can't go anywhere else.

Wake up, boys and girls!

And the sad thing is, the only time we will have a wake up call, is when everything we know has been destroyed, and all we'll be able to do at that time is just say 'bollocks!', because there will be nothing left. What a wonderful world.
