Impact Off Track
Our world is cast into shadow
Covered in pools of black chaos and anarchy
Filled by the blood drained from the people around us
Driven by our basic animal instinct
Compulsive, confused, conceded, commanding
We as a race are destructive
We believe we are superior
That we are better than our primitive and savage forefathers
For merely being for elegant in our forms
But we have become a parasitic infection on our planet
Destroying resources we need
Adding to resources we don’t
Creating ineffective political policies
Creating war
Encouraging lust, violence, and gluttony
Watching as the youth turn into the elderly
How our world is worse off in this generation without a sense of honor
A sense of dignity
A sense of courage
A sense of knowing what is right, fair, and just
View with clarity the utter vulgarity, vanity, insanity, and a duality of humanity
And maybe you can help yourself and those around you change our home
Into a better place
No matter the name you call our planet
Gaia, Terra, Earth, Gemini
No matter what religion you come from
Christianity, Judaism, Catholicism, Islam
We are all one people of a global social network
We all have to take responsibility for our part
Our impact on the world.
