Humanity UnKind

Wildfires of hate spread

Waiting for Christ’s return

Clutching Bibles to chests

Smiling as they watch it all burn

~ ~ ~

Ashes raining in oceans

Droughts swimming through plains

Another day another mass shooting

Darkness spreading through my veins

~ ~ ~

And I have become

Prisoner to my mind

Left my shackled self behind

Watching the blind lead the blind

On my journey to find

Faith in humanity unkind

~ ~ ~

The Garden of Eden

No longer simple or pure

Greedy hands keep stretching

Always asking for more

~ ~ ~

Fascinated by insanity

We stand idly by

Calling murderers heroes

Ignoring the children’s cries

~ ~ ~

And I have become

Prisoner to my mind

Left my shackled self behind

Watching the blind lead the blind

On my journey to find

Faith in humanity unkind

~ ~ ~

Those in power

Try to rewrite history

Lessons we never learned

Keep repeating the same old mystery

~ ~ ~

Innocence dies

And justice is naught

For the lives that were lost

When hatred was fought

~ ~ ~

And I have become

Prisoner to my mind

Left it all behind

Watching the blind follow the blind

Struggling so hard to find

Faith in humanity unkind
