Evolutions Final Mistake

What was not to be revealed Was hidden to late What was never to be created Unknowing sealed this planet’s fate Governed by the powerful Helpless to their law Blinded by incompetence Feebleminded are all The only thing certain In our pathetic lives of shame Is death, and the servitude To our rulers’ absolute reign Through centuries of manipulation We have surrendered our birth-given minds Dominated by those in command Yet seem to remain politically blind Our lives were conquered By those who lived long before Now we live enslaved Following orders more and more For people supposedly free We have scores of laws to abide For people of equal rights Discrimination is so very common in our enforcers’ eye So unforgiving we have become As history continues to unfold Due to our species defects All must relinquish their souls No longer are we able To select our own direction We shall witness the destruction Of the world, due to our idiocy, and dictation Our appointed leaders are not to blame, For their actions we condone In all actuality the fault Is that of our own The evil known as power May be easily undone If humanity throughout the world Banded together as one If that ever happens Then free to live our own lives we shall be Not worrying about incarceration Able to do anything, making us truly free Yet that is not possible For our species is defective Even though we try To be so corrective With our creation Came one certain fact We will destroy this world While each other we attack We were built for mass destruction That’s the only reason we are here Nuclear war shall undo creation The end is so very near
