"Worldview "

By Utada Rumiko

I
Dark at night.
Even darker at day.
The world is timeless.

II
The darkness comes.
They come out to play.
The world is relentless.

III
To kill or be killed.
An eye for an eye.
The world is unforgiving.

IV
Eying the money.
All of the time.
The world is unsatisfied.

V
Time is short.
As well as life.
The world is dying.

VI
A life is lost.
Under the knife.
The world is suffering.

VII
A knife to the back.
The people we thought we knew.
The world is untrustworthy.

VIII
The people complain.
But others suffer too.
The world is oblivious.

IX
Others cash a check.
Yet countless children die.
The world is selfish.

X
Children have guns.
Our country asks why.
The world is corrupt.

XI
Our country fights.
Nothing seems to change.
The world is weakening.

XII
Change brings more destruction.
Is this the end of our days?
The world is hoping.

XIII
Dark at night.
Getting darker every day.
The world is hopeless.
