God, Where Are You

God, where are you? 
Humanity seems as though it's thru 
There are no more horrific things we can do 
The daily slaughter is nothing new 
Perpetrated by the demonic few 
I ask what is it 
That we can do 
To stop the carnage 
And begin anew 
Is it possible 
to change our path? 
Can we do better to quench humanity's wrath? 
Or are we doomed 
to our barbaric fate 
Feasting off of our butchers plate 
For our society is it to late?
Are we hooked on human bait?
I myself can no longer placate 
My feelings for the world
A trivial pursuit I rate 
Of humans evil 
I have had to eat 
Force fed violence 
Set to repeat 
A daily repast 
Of a vile treat 
Offered by the callous elite 
God, where are you? 

Eric (and sometimes not)
