The Decline of Humanity
See the world around yourself,
See the people around you—
The scary face of people,
The crying face of children.
They are scared, lonely, and sad.
They fear the world.
See the fearless around the world.
The mothers are crying with children in their hands,
Praying for their children’s life,
While others are praying for their children’s future
To be bright.
People say, “This is the way of living.”
If you don’t understand,
Then you will lose your life.
The world is watching around in silence—
Can’t we stand against this violence?
Their hands are coloured with blood.
Some of our hearts are filled with guiltWe are living—
They are bleeding.
We are eating—
They are starving.
Some say this is revenge...
But we are taking lives.
