The Last Bit of Grace
The world I see is blinding me
violence and hate surrounding me
pluck my eyes and make me deaf
then only may my faith be kept
I am losing hope for human kind
an uphill battle inside my mind
crazy... crazy... my sense of fear
my inability to empathize is near
growing blind to their crying eyes
their soulless vessels are no surprise
listen... listen... to the sound of quiet
a peaceful calm before the riot
their screams begin to settle down
even whispers are no longer found
feel it... feel it... the last bit of grace
gone like a smile from every person's face
armed to the tooth,and ready for a war
ready to fight, ready to die once more
what is right, does it really matter?
bang bang, our minds are shattered
battling for a human component
what's left of love... I wouldn't know it!
no more emotions emitting waves
kill or be killed, since there is nothing left to save
the humans conquered but our world is lost
there is no one left to weigh the cost
greed, corruption, deceit, and hate
with every deed, we sealed our fate
there's nothing left but negative space
no plants, nor animals, no human race.
