We Are The Human Race
I'm giving up hope on the human race.
Once and for all once and for all.
Nothing can convince me otherwise
I've given it chance after chance just to be hurt again
They say everyone has faults
No that's not true
Everyone is a fault
Now that is more accurate
All we do is yell and scream till we get our way
All we do is fight and kill and steal to get paid
All we do is hurt others to take our pain away
All we do is focus on ourselves
All we do is waste resources to pass the time by
All we do is treat others as objects in our little worlds
All we do is drink our lives away not thinking about the others it hurts
All we do is waste our lives away wasting all that we have been given
All we do is complain about how our lives suck, not caring about that kid that died on the street yesterday
All we do is seek pleasure in the vices of this world and shun our creator
All we do is let down those around us
All we do is ignore those walking by us on the side walk
All we do is live on day after day set in our ways
We can not take it back
We are the human race
Fucked up as can be
As we have been throughout history
Some say we are more humane today than in the past
But that head on a stick has just turned into that man we let starve in a poor country
We take and we take and we take from this world
Not giving back one bit
It gives us its oil, trees, air... all it has to give
We give it waste, litter, fuel emissions.... all we can give
Because we are the human race
Better than all the other living things out there
That is why we hunt the deer and mount their heads on the wall
Kill the spiders even if they are not in our way
Smear the beautiful fluid of the lightning bug onto the side walk
Capture the zebra, the lion, the lizard, and watch them waste their lives away in our splendid cages
Because we are the human race
But we are as inhumane as can be
Just as much now as throughout history
We keep evolving but will get nowhere
Till we blow each other up with our complex perfect bombs
Run out of oxygen because of our beautiful cars
Kill ourselves with our evolving smart technology
Because we are the human race
And we know everything right?
Perfect as can be.
Haha funny
What a joke
Humanity needs to change and be quick about it
It is almost to late to save this world
I can't give up no matter how bad I want to
There are some good people out there
I know there has to be
Lets raise our voices
Together we need to make a change
Before our perfect race drives itself extinct
