The Shame of Our Sentient State
The pride that comes from ego
And the prejudice from ignorance
Sees humanity in a hole
Created by its own arrogance
It will not work in consciousness
To evolve and to transcend
It simply wants to fight itself
In a selfish battle of greed and hate
Reflections of its flawed state
Transposed and manifesting in toxic waves
Negating positive frequencies
Through their unawakened brain
The illusory drains
Their ability to retain
Any sense of love, peace and compassion
Which is why this earth they are trashing
Like mindless zombies
Feeding off the flesh of this earth
And inflicting so much self hurt
And I find quite embarrassing
That a sentient race keeps clashing
With its own ignorant flaws
That ends up in so many wars
And refusing to march toward
A paradigm shift that may just save us all.
