The Human Race

There is seriously something wrong With the entire human race Common sense has left the premises And ignorance has taken its place I take a look around me And everywhere I look The ones who hide from reality Are in every corner and nook These people walk around blind To the reasons we all exist To laugh would be absurd But there are times I can’t resist Some of them are so blinded By their ignorance in truth That there’s no hope left for those Who refuse to believe in You The rest of us can preach And do our best to teach But there’s only so much you can do For those not wanting to be reached; I pray that you forgive them They know not what they do Their heads are filled with nothing That would really matter to You; Like whom they know And where they’ve been Or what they can do with their hands If it’s real and they can hold it That’s all these people can get For to have to deal with reality Seems to leave them with anxiety And talk they’d rather not They’d rather hide in their ignorant world Maybe wonder of you from time to time But if it’s not real to them They’ll only listen to a lie.
