The Nature of Human Beings
Perhaps human kind
Is the wisest But I know for certain That we are not the kindest We are self absorbed
We are ignorant We ridicule anyone Who dares to be different We are cruel to the saddest
And make them hurt so deeply That they think living with pain is too hard But killing themself is easy We poison the earth
And pretend that it's natural Just so we have an excuse To ignore what is factual We torture and murder
We kill for recreation And excel in destruction Instead of creation We discriminate against the poor
And anyone in need We pretend we have good reason But really it's greed We make others seem evil
To satisfy our desire to seem righteous When really the only thing we are doing Is twisting the situation to our likeness We will do anything
Just to get ahead To become rich and famous Even if our souls become dead We would rather have war
Than peacefully resolve our disagreements Because sacrificing lives is easy But losing money is too inconvenient The rich get richer
Making the rest want to give up Can't anyone see How that is corrupt? We use our religion
To justify our sins And murder and steal And hope God forgives What must happen
To put an end to this blindness? To turn the human race away from evil And toward the warmth of kindness When will we all
Unite with one another Stop the hate and fighting Become sisters and brothers? When the day comes
That our species is cured of this disease When we value acceptance and giving Instead of hatred and greed We will finally have peace
We will finally join together We will live life to its fullest And love one another |
