I see humans but no humanity I see a society but no unity Happiness comes from within But we all seem to forget Ignorant, naïve And judging from incompetence Fighting for peace Not respecting history Searching for truth But you've lost your way No more believers Forgotten how we got here Looking for freedom But support the oppressor Don't accept responsibility And hope you don't get caught Because you're not really breaking the law Your conscience is poisonous Apparently your doing things the right way Children are dying from illness But we're complaining about immigrants Stop following public opinion And separating nations Just because you're not blind It doesn't mean you can see Teach your future generation Less clothes equals beautiful And white equals superior Money equals power Divide between the lesser who are inferior ***** hatred and say its dutiful Who are you trying to fool We're dropping like flies She killed herself because of cyber bullying And he's tired of acting strong Fearing to cry and be ****** Abuse, neglect and poverty Increasing frequently Morality crisis Blame the youth and teenage pregnancies To combat it a genius says let's teach them whilst they're younger Sounds good right? What about censorship Safety and protection Young minds are susceptible Ignore the practice and theories Pride doesn't let you back down Blame the rap and rock music Its preaches violence and hatred Rebel riots and corruption East and west its affected us both Greedy bankers And terrorists or freedom fighters A time of lost trust And each to their own Independent battles No one is connecting the dots Its like global dominoes Inter connected problems One leads to another And the root cause is lost
