Restless Tribe

Lonely within-lonely without;
Emptiness darkness-wandering about
  Souls of the living ;
Can still be found souls of the giving 
The scarceness Profound-
Trusting no one and judging all 
In this man=made world 
and its man made law-
A restless tribe if ever I saw
Racing to work-working to earn;
Helping no one- failing to learn-
Share not with your brother-
Part not with your pride
When all mountains crumble 
leaving no where to hide;
