Is That Humanity

crushing heartache,
feeling down'
why this betrayal
feeling loss feeling wound 
why then should I be found happy
when all is despair around
one lesson I have learned 
the world is cruel, and justice indeed blind,
a fixed friendship is broken again 
no way to mend this time
so why is humanity so fickle
are we inhuman at best
monsters in the flesh
ready to betray
ready to kill
for a single coin or a stolen pill
believing in the worst that could be
would that be the best way to describe humanity?
