An Innocent

An innocent dies in Darfur

And the world is up in arms

Because another singer

Throws out her backstage husband



An innocent is raped in Iran

And her family is enraged

Because they cannot

Beat her to death today



An innocent goes hungry in America  

And my neighbors are angry

Because their sport's team

Is losing again



An innocent is saved by a mother's sacrifices

And there is global applause

Because two superstars wed "simply"

With caviar, castle and fireworks
