Poems
Sep 2016
Humanity, what's that?
We're born with hopeful wonder
We're born with tempestuous emotion
We try not to get pulled under
But get swept up in devotion
We get older and chip away
Rust in the sinking water
Trying to hold onto Maye
Always unwillingly slaughter
We mutate to an object inhumane
Excuse it with "It's in our DNA"
Seems like we're all on *******
Have brain damage more every day
We **** each other left and right
Trying to cope and manage
Wrecked brain and no sight
We create collateral damage
So don't say "I'm only human"
Blaming everything except yourself
I think it's time you tune in
And take the book off the shelf
Your eyes are covered by your own hands
What is it you fear?
It's pathetic and sad
You can't see you are your own puppeteer
