Humanity

A paradox
Of petty thoughts
And people less perfect
Then they think
Languished cries
And lengthy lies
Lives left on the brink

Morally gray,
I’ve heard them say,
But inhumane
Is what I see today
People are no longer people
Because of their god that day
Children beat to the ground
Because they say that they’re gay
Lives caught in an endless fray

The world is burning!
The world is burning!

It’s past time
That we awoke
Open our damn eyes
And see the blinding smoke
For if we don’t,
And its no sick joke,
For if we don’t,
Surely we’ll choke
It’s our demise
That we provoke
