Ashes of the Phoenix Pt. 5: The Plague of Mankind

First and foremost, before I start

I will explain this part by part

Of the unspoken evils that I’ve seen

It won’t be pretty, it won’t be clean

 

In nature, without humans, exists no war

No great battles have be fought before

Boarders and laws had already been set

And there was no owing, there was no debt

 

Fights lasted to the most an hour

No grudges, no thing left sour

Lives weren’t settled by race or gender

Of course not everything was peace and splendor

 

However, things are much more violent

Complicated, and many made silent

If you’ve seen what I’ve seen, you too will find

That what’s wrong with this world is the plague of mankind.
