Old Protest Song Still Rings True in 2026

A 1972 track called 'The World Is a Ghetto' by the group War still feels fresh in 2026. The lyrics talk about struggle, hardship, and inequality that show up everywhere, not just in poor neighborhoods.

Today the main driver of that pain is the current president and his allies. He represents many human weaknesses and has never really faced the everyday problems most people deal with.

Abraham Lincoln once said that the people are the true masters of Congress and the courts, not to destroy the Constitution but to remove those who twist it.

Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell described seeing Earth from the moon and feeling a strong urge to fix the world’s petty politics. He imagined pulling a politician far out into space to show them the bigger picture. All citizens need to answer that call now.
