Lost Faith In Humanity

About a few days ago, to my embarrassment,
I saw two men ill-treating a dog. They beat it until its death!
The men were laughing, having fun.
I was taken aback.
And lost faith in humanity.

*****Sapiens, meaning Wise Men.
Hah? Wise men?
Are we?
Man has turned into an inhumane senseless beast.
The world is full of crass materialism.
War bloodshed and terrorism.

A faultless infant,
A starving dotard.
Do these innocents deserve this?

Man has become a cruel, blood sucking leech,
Is this what our culture and religion teach?

Grief, unhappiness and pain has become a common sight,
Small things, big fights.

I am shocked to see the inhumanity of a man towards man,
                                                             towards animals.
We talk of wisdom, intelligence.
Where are we? Is this going good?
Where are the senses gone?

The world has turned into a nasty pit.
Lack of morals, Lack of wit!
I feel ashamed,
I feel pity!
And yes? Completely lost faith in humanity.

If this continues 
Human species will not last longer.

Just think about it.
Make this world a better place to live in?
