The Human Race

THE HUMAN RACE
The human race is a maze of twilights
Races so complex, we're unsure what's right
A mixture of racism, violence and hate
Solving the world's problems, we'll debate

Hunger, homelessness, sickness, full of rage
Ultimatel imprisoning themselves in a cage  
No value on life, no trust in God
Day after day brings denial and a nod

The human race lacks brotherly love
Refusing to accept strength from above
Races have no feelings, compassion or heart
These emotions keep us distant and apart

Politicians make a mark, lying and cheating
Through the strife, people take a beating
Police brutality, apartheid, terroism, spying
This is our human race dying
