Humanity

As I look across this land
I really try to understand
Why people come to be Such a self destructing society

Letting hatred rule their hearts
Unsympathetic from the start
Casting down a negative flow
For our children as they grow

Feeding into the flame
This shame is all of ours to blame
We sit there with no remorse
As we travel down this course

Is this really now our human race
We should hang our heads in disgrace
Just going with the ebb and flow
We put on airs with a false and empty show

I hope that people will eventually realize
That we are bringing about our own demise
