What The World Needs Now Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

What The World Needs Now



What the world needs now is oxytocin
It's the main thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is bubby love

No not just for some but for everyone

Lord we don't need another mountain.
There are landscapes and hillsides
We can strip mine.

There are oceans and tides,
Though the fish stocks slide,
That'll last our time

What the world needs now is snuffle love
What we need now is snuggly inhalation
Not just for us but for every nation.

It's the only thing that there's just too little of.

Lord we don't need another meadow
Or corn fields and oil palms
In irradiated afterglow.

We have sun beams and moon beams
Above the smog it seems -
Just listen Lord, if you want to know

What the world needs now is Agent O
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
And what the world needs so

No not just for some but for everyone

Lord we don't need more medication -
There are pharmaceuticals to spare
That blank immoderation.

But when the baby's bum is bare
Take a sniff and linger there
In loved-up meditation.

Oxytocin - nobody can get enough
It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
What the world needs now is nappy-happy love

Not just for some - but for everyone.
