Who are we but monsters
  to allow ourselves to become
   what we have become
Devouring electricity at night to
  produce an artificial glow
Light pollution on the grow
Pushing the twinkling of the stars
  out of view
And all we're left with is a dull dark
  greyish blue
We can no longer see the beauty of
  how small we really are
The earth just a pebble compared to
  sun and that sun just a grain of sand
   in the cosmos that reaches farther than
    we can comprehend
And like fools we play the part of god
Toying with the balance of life and death
Deconstructing the grace of innocence
The time of youth being pushed back
Children growing up too fast
Stealing away their finite hours to
   enjoy their toys
And we shackle their dreams and hopes
And allow them to believe our lies
Teach them that cash flow is more important
  than blood flow
That there's nothing wrong with ******
  at times of war
Even though in today's time and age there's
  no sane way to explain what we are
    fighting for
Love should always beat hate... but it doesn't
Compassion should come easier than
  complacency...but it doesn't
Kindness should exceed greed... but it doesn't
Who are we but monsters and fools pretending
  to be gods
