All that we should want is for amity to be fulfilled,
but the fact of the matter is, life’s kill or be killed.
And who’s to say if that is right or wrong?
It’s the instinct of the animal caged inside for so long.
We hide our true selves, locked away by our own fear
of an all knowing god that might not even be there.
Even if the masses are right about his existence,
all he does is sit up inside his heavenly residence
simply allowing the spread of famine, plague, and pestilence.
And who’s to say if we have chosen the right ways?
Who’s to say God favors a saint who spends his days
kneeling down, hands clasped to pray
over a drug addict who wastes his life away,
his body just a shell, mind constantly in a daze,
or a murderer, sadistic in so many ways,
standing over his victims, watching their eyes glaze?
If those without souls should be killed by the suns rays
we should all be afraid of it setting our skin ablaze.
After all, mankind has an endless thirst for blood,
waging war after war until the dark viscous liquid brims and overruns
the cup of life, causing a vermillion flood.
I don’t know how it started but I hate how we’ve become.
The only solutions we know involve a knife or a gun.
We should be waging peace, taking advantage of the prosperity.
End the pain and the suffering, get rid of the perfidy.
Sit back in the silence, no longer caused by anticipation
of an act of violence to tear apart our good nations,
but ,instead a silence of serenity.
Not a care in the world withing our united divinity.
End the fighting and exile the hate.
A new age of peace is something we need to facilitate.
