This That and the Other

Is it wrong for me to hate us ? Us, meaning humanity Is it wrong to wish for our demise Is it wrong to hope for the end To finish the story To see if the injustices will be answered Will we truly be judged And if so Will it be fair and impartial Will the punishment fit the crime Or will it be nothing, as everything else is………….. Do you know ? Or more important, do you care ? What have we achieved thru living ? What do we really do to fill our days If you really look at it All we do is find things to occupy ourselves Keeping the illusion alive that we are free Whether it’s right or wrong, doesn’t matter We just do this that and the other You know as a species we are rather funny Greed driven and addicted to money Herded like cattle and baited like fish Always wanting more, always with a wish Sick as it sounds But the green paper forever bounds From the very young to death An addiction that we are taught Our lives forever bought A vicious circle Follow me ? Sorry I doubt it Eric (and sometimes not)
