It pains me to say it's been so long that I can't remember your eyes.

You are what you eat So if I then choose to fast What becomes of me?

Humanity i love you because you would rather black the boots of success than enquire whose soul dangles from his watch-chain which would be embarrassing for both parties and because you unflinchingly applaud all songs containing the words country home and mother when sung at the old howard Humanity i love you because when you’re hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink and when you’re flush pride keeps you from the pawn shop and because you are continually committing nuisances but more especially in your own house Humanity i love you because you are perpetually putting the secret of life in your pants and forgetting it’s there and sitting down on it and because you are forever making poems in the lap of death Humanity i hate you

Humanity I Love You
A contraption constructed into our mind   Driving us to success     Or tearing us a part        Working us to our freakin bone Only to have everything torn way from us Life why the **** would you do this? Drive me towards this makings of fantasy    A concept built upon the foundations of society      But constricted by authority And such a strong craving forms And engulfs my soul As it drives my body for only one thing There's no other route taken Because the rest are refused By the competitive nature that lies within As we come faced forward with our only chances   We throw it all away with our fears

Dusk brings us to our knees    as the night engulfs our souls        and stores it for memories to keep But what does this mean exactly Are stars the answers to all our enduring questions? Because maybe the night   Is our only way of finding out and    The best memories are hidden in the shadows                Not displayed for our status to be boasted in order to extend our pride But hidden for the singular enjoyment of ourselves History is what moves us forward,     creating a foundation to be learnt from         establishing our essence as people      Shifts in our history can either push us forward Or hold us back forever.
