Lost Humanity

Time comes and goes People pass by and fly We have only memories left But we remember the sad ones And easily forget the happy ones We live in regrets Saying... what if? We live in fear Saying... what will? We have lost our humanity We live in the past Forgetting the present As if there is only the past tense We live in memories Forgetting the future As if there is no future We love to brag about our ancestors But what have we done now? We all are losing ourselves War... Drugs... We think we are fighting for a cause But that cause is only our greed We think we are building the future But we are destroying the future We are losing our humanity And there is little left of it... It is time to stop the war And move along with peace Nations send armies to others Saying:"We've come to civilize you" According to the dictionary Civilize is defined as conqueror Send not armies! Send food and medical supplies! Why do you come in the name of peace?! If you only bring with you destruction! What is happening to Afghanistan? Why do you send guns instead of pills!?! Or is the Vito more important than lives? I am not from Europe, I am not from America and I am NOT from the Middle East... I do not know such things... I am from Earth, regard of my nation Nations are only names, we are all one We are connected; we live on the same planet! Why does one want to kill his brother? IS IT FUN? WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE TRY IT? I do not want to lose my humanity Knowing that little is left in this world This world can yet be fixed... And it starts with two words: Love and equality And it starts with one road: kill the Vito Cause if it was a man, I would've killed it for the best You think Hitler is gone?! Well now there is a stronger one Look at Jerusalem! Hitler wouldn't dare do such things! Why do we keep looking at the past?! Forgetting what now is happening! If the same ones who were massacred by Hitler Are the same ones doing worse to Arabs?! Why do we spend billions on weapons? Instead of spending them on science? Or at least save other nations from starvation Why are we better than the Africans? We have the same God! Or is it because of their color? I just wish to ask one question to every human being... WHAT WILL YOU SAY WHEN YOU STAND BEFORE GOD? -------------------------- A tribute to all nations and hope all be safe :)
