Desperate Ends

Fire rises, deep in the hearts of men. 
Allegiance follows power to its bitter end.
Fate plays the hand of ‘the human’ again.

Minds lose when control is given away.
Pride dies when the base of hate becomes prey.
Lies upon lies drive fear to desperate ends.

Life dies beyond the scope of man’s pretence.
Wars lies fuel fire and death to men.
Mankind will never learn that the biggest threat to its survival is men.
