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
