Human Beings
Wars, wars near and far
Earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes
All these natural disasters
So close to home
Tearing up the earth, whirling round and round
Destroying homes and even the land
Humans dying,
People crying out
From all the pain
Sickness, starvation, incurable disease
Eating away at humanity
From the inside out
Crime and violence
As never seen before.
Murder for no reason at all
Rape, innocent victims screaming out
So many in prison serving time
Suicide for those who no longer know what to do
Disobedience, of authority
Including their parents
Immorality of every kind
All of these things happening
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
No peace in sight or so it seems
We need to look further
Before time runs out
We only have one more chance
To make our lives better
Don’t give in to humanity’s selfish plight
Make the right decision for yourselves
