Instead of reaching out to care

What’s happened to the human race?

We’ve turned so cold and dark

Instead of reaching out to care

We feed on hate like sharks

 

But that is just a fraction

Of how we have evolved

Instead of reaching out to care

We don’t get too involved

 

We shun away from feeling guilt

It doesn’t fit our style

Instead of reaching out to care

We wear a pseudo smile

 

We offer God as solace

So we don’t have to love

Instead of reaching out to care

We point to up above

 

No wonder bullets fly

No wonder anger blooms

Instead of reaching out to care

We lock them all in rooms
