A call to arms of sorts, “Is This The World We Created…?” asks people to look around, and take a moment to asses the state of the broken society we live in. It was written in Munich after lead vocalist Freddie Mercury and guitarist Brian May watched a television program on poverty in Africa. May helped with chords, and pitched in a few lines, but a majority of the song was completed by Mercury.
It was also performed at Live Aid as an encore.
