Humanity

In times of War,

and in times of Woe,

we stumble cross this world

and down below

 

And in the deep

where all things sleep

we find vague secrets hurled

guarded by things that creep

 

When I read a paper, of the News,

I wearily read and yet joyfully snooze

I hear of stories filled with rage

and listen to pages that unto others abuse

 

and I say...

 

HAHAHA

 

Human fools, we are pathetic,

give up this world we know,

travel back, through time and space,

to ease the pain we've sworn to sew,

 

What in paitence lies with pity,

And in lying, animosity,

We cannot trust, or be trusted

And hide in cloaks from dignity

 

I am I guess a doomsayer,

as I like to say our doom;

It will come, by our wills done

And shall end the cycle of gloom

 

Even through negativity,

this white sail stand with truth,

We are poor and weak,

and surely deserve to fall from our peak..

 

And should you wonder why,

or how cruel of me to be?

Then ask yourself, or die,

How can you let THIS be?

 

When Humans have no love,

no patience for this Earth,

When grace is hunted with glove,

We've lost our lovely mirth..

 

When Humans care for torture,

*** Money and Power,

There is no greater torture

Then to suffer this hour through hour..

 

When Wars are fueled by anger,

wrought as steel, long ago,

Should we travel back this Danger,

and send it melting as the snow?

 

When the Economy is poisoned,

and the flag of Obama is soiled,

The truth in the cotton is marred,

and the Red White and Blue is by rage Boiled..

 

When Minds are swift as flies,

Yet can be stayed by petty lies,

or When these Lies

Act as flies,

they spread their wings with hate,

all across the state,

so that we may argue,

and that we may toil,

that we may blame for,

or that we may take from

And eventually desecrate

 

When Words are trusted fasley,

and from it lives took wrongly,

Who can we trust in this void

of life we too must rust?

 

When light of Moon

and Song of sun,

have in the dark fled far,

 

Wither we go, all abroad

Peace never shall be far,

Yet ever will be far

In this world we sadly mar.
