Our Current Demise

Maybe it’s madness to keep the belief There’s any good will still within humanity As we stand by and watch for ourselves The world as we know it dip deep into hell Children still suffer in this day and age As if no real progress has ever been made Disease makes it’s way from door to door Impacting the masses like never before Enforcers of law still kill based on race As if all human lives aren’t each worth the same Those with the most are still getting rich While we work as slaves until we are sick Why are we so twisted? We are so demanding of perfection, while at the same time, Most of us are in denial about our own dark and Never ending flaws. As time continues to march on, we continue to Prove that we are nothing more than a poison. How long can we maintain this sinful serenade We’ve so carefully constructed? I pray we can change for the best. I pray my daughter sees a better and brighter Humanity than the one I’ve been shown. I pray she is better than me... D.R.L.
