Humanity
We live in lies and flourish in fear,
the secrets we hold are always so near.
Death has a way to keep us at bay
shadowing life day after day.
You cannot escape the plans laid ahead,
sooner or later we all end up dead.
Happiness comes from feeling past sorrow
and we can only hope to feel it tomorrrow.
Through corruption and greed
These lifes that we lead
Will find their way back
To the heart that we lack
And we can live it up now
But we'll never know how
To truly be selfless
Because humans are selfish
