I have been so dissuaded
By this so-called life.
Death, and violence, and misery,
Define the human plight.
Love is a concept
As foreign as the stars,
And everyday I cover up
All the wounds and scars.
Mankind, it would seem to me,
Defines itself through misery.
Pain and suffering
Put prominently on display,
Emphasizing the very heart
Of society’s decay.
Intelligence and morality
Steadily decline,
Advances in technology
Making it all sublime.
The concepts of right and wrong,
Once so well defined,
And yet we find new ways
To blur those very lines.
What bearing does this all have
Upon our worlds fate?
I really don't know,
But it may be too late.
