A Complex World

(The murder and crime rate is so extremely high in the United States, that we really need to start exploring new solutions.)

When I have many problems, I get so confused.
Just how much, I can't say, but you would be amused.

Maybe I will write my congressman, or perhaps the Mayor.
Or maybe I will see a catholic Priest and get some holy prayer.

Murder, rape, across the land - assults and bribery.
Robots, computers, laser beams, and high technology.

War and crimes in modern times, I just need a shrink.
Plus I eat no celery and my blood is lacking zinc.

This country's overpopulated ... that is just a fact.
Every time we're under pressure we invade Iraq.

In the beginning the Bible says that Adam bit the fruit.
That's why today we're so destroyed and no one gives a hoot.

You have stated well the ills of the land... We all need some holy prayer and "Jesus" to walk to with us.
