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
