Breeding Ground

An unending war caused by those who deceive,

greedy men spreading lies, sowing their seeds.

All of society left in the dark.

Governments merge and start to embark.

The greed of success is more dangerous than failure.

Let's pray it's not hopeless to change this behavior.

What could it  be that creates such a hunger?

Where is the innocence we possess when we're younger?

Loss of morals inbred so all become frail.

The paranoia is spread to make us hide from ourselves.

The extinction of all that is true, I foretell.

Damning our souls to a fiery hell.
