I hear the sounds of…
Clanking swords, spears, and crying souls
The sight of…
Shoveling dirt for graves and empty bowls…
Empty stomachs
The thunderous drum beat is in unison with the marches
Brave soldiers and accurate archers
Men and woman who sacrifice everything to see their country rise
Without the slightest feeling that they are getting sand blown over their eyes
The truth is hidden in the brain of every society
If someone were to ask me who I am…
American? Latino? Native? French?
No. I am none of these things
Tan skin and thick, dark hair
A giant with an awkward smile
The Universe begs us to be “different”
Yet it judges us for it
Hypocrisy is our philosophy
Since the first day that I took a deep breath of this thin and polluted air…
I have lost faith in all of humanity
What do you consider “the end”?
When mankind is completely wiped out from the face of Earth-
Or when we lose our morality?
Society has come to the end of its rope
It’s my job to tie a knot and hang on tightly…
Hang on as long as I possibly can
I wonder how long I would last before someone tries to tear me down…
To the depths of failure and misery
Our world’s rotting heart is oozing out with anger, pride, and lust
A society supported by hate and judgment
We are like Al-Qaeda and the Nazis
No different
This world is killing you slowly…
With every breath that you take
We are lambs that are being led to the slaughter
Killing each other…
Moms, dads, and daughters
The blood of our society tastes bitter and acidic on my sensitive tongue
The bullet shells clank loudly against the cold and hard concrete sidewalk
Suicide, genocide, homicide, worldwide
We are what we think
What we think is wrong
Society wins
We’ve reached the end
