here we have these hands
appendeges that have untold abilities
when paired up to the whole of the mind
Hands, Heads, and then there are our ways
the ways that we hand burdens down
a legacy since the first IOU was wrote
inheriting more and more and more
each parent buried a little less than their son's
heir daughters, and grandchildren
and for what?  In pursuit of money we have
accomplished amazing feats, as well we have
killed untold millions for far far less reasons
all for personal gains, no choices given
its the way that it is, "always been this way"
But people, we have stood on the MOON...
We've built from nothing, our need to know
to grow, but adopted these natural gifts to bad reasons
money motivates, but survival of our species matters more
We are only as valuable, worth measured in generations
we've done things all wrong, and we are almost found wanting
and starved, diseased, washed, burned, or frozen
to the point of no return, its the sum of our reasons
they are wrong, and selfish, and misthought about
we do the good, for the good and no other reason.
