Human Wasteland
Unknowingly, common men destroy not only themselves, but other men
Should I stand here and let this savagery happen to those without sin?
What is my place to say this and thus to him or them?
Easily cast aside like a blink or a whim
Demolition and chaos lurk at the very surface of our psyche
Whether we recognize this problem at all isn’t so likely
