Who Are the Animals?

Turn on the TV, Its death and pain, All this negativity bombarding my brain, tring to kill my 
humanity... Seeing mankind living in vain...

 A man sells WARS
 A man sell GUNS

 A man with no soul
 A man having fun

To propagate hate or sell a "Cause."
Bombs drop on moms holding children
The world turns on the TV... and might pause?

600,000,000 GUN'S!!!
Granades.
Nuclear subs
Kids with guns dying of AIDS!
Governments washed by BANKS, still getting paid.

The line is blured between authority and thug.
Racial profiling By a government that slings drugs.

In this persuit of "Justice" our LIBERTIES are RAPED.
Who are the animals?
Us... Or the Ape's
