A Definition of Humanism

by statictitanic

The crisis around the world shows The most humanistic qualities we pose The desensitization and ruins of peoples' innocence We douse our money, power, and glory in the hands Of a cold metal pistol, that barrels out to strike you down The cool air whispers out the truth when you've taken your last breath Knowing there is something more after death You release yourself from this radioactive cage You realize how close death hits home, and threatens To break your fragile arteries It's not the idea but the principal of humanism We call ourselves human, more powerful Above Nature's canvas and her life We dwell in a place where we think we make the most out of things Before Time decides where you shall lay We are weak and powerful We decide when it is right to fight But when the casualties are written on one's arm We decide to leave the world A bloodier mess
