Earth


Earth 
Where injustice and immorality are the norm 
Where bloodshed and betrayal occur daily 
Where the few dominate over the many 
Where war has become reality and generations are raised in conflict 
Where assault and manslaughter need no justification 
Where starvation and disease plague the land despite the capability to obliterate them 
Where the poor and orphaned are neglected 
Where mothers and children cry from desperation 
Where happiness is accredited to wealth and status 
Where a man will work tirelessly but will see no gain 
Where humanity is a myth 
Where man has entered the animal kingdom
