Half The World

Half the world lives,
The other half makes,
Half the world gives
While the other half takes.

While half the world lies,
The other will burn burns,
Half the world cries
And on the other side it will turn

Half the world hates,
And the other runs away,
Half the world's late,
Half the world praises the day.

Half the world cares,
And the other half weeps,
Some half of the world shares,
While the other side keeps.

Di you know half the world sings,
And the other side laughs,
Half the world brings,
Half the world tries to be the other half.
