Why do we choose to make each other suffer?
When it's so much easier to support one another
Why do we argue and relentlessly fight?
So we can smugly say that we were right

Why is it so important not to be proven wrong?
Do we think it entitles us to some kind of gong?
Does it not matter if we hurt each other's feelings?
Or worse, completely destroy another human being?

Does it never occur to us that there is no right or wrong?
And that we have been kidding ourselves all along?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions
But we are being driven by negative emotions

Being angry and greedy wastes so much energy
Standing against each other, warring selfishly
When we should all stand together and unite
Be kind and help others through their plights  

But instead we walk around with our heads in the clouds
Out for ourselves, not hearing the sounds
Of people suffering all kinds of unimaginable pain
Only caring about what we can gain.
