We will be the end of ourselves

Eyes,
         for believing.
Ears,
        for listening.
Legs,
        for supporting.
Arms,
        for reaching.
Hands,
        for helping.

A mouth,
              for explaining.
A brain,
            for understanding.
A conscience,
             for caring.
A heart,
             for loving.
An instinct,
             for surviving.
A subconscience,
             for dreaming.
A dream,
              for achieving.

As humans we are given many gifts.
                Gifts with strength.
                Gifts with responsibility.
                 Gifts we abuse.
                 Gifts we don't deserve.
                 Gifts we've transformed into weapons.

Eyes,
        for spying.
Ears,
      for eavesdropping.
Legs,
      for running.
Arms,
       for threatening.
Hands,
         for raising.

A mouth,
           for gossiping.
A brain,
           for plotting.
A conscience,
           for ignoring.
A heart,
          for ransom.
An instinct,
          for killing.
A sub-conscience,
          for dreaming.
A dream,
         for war.


It is time to live civilized,
                               instead we are more wild than ever.

Childrens hands curl into fists,
     their innocent soprano voices spit insults that contain words,
                                                                                    that surely they didn't learn from Disney.
Those who are different and dare rebel,
       are isolated and beaten.
               The strong who survive,
                                      live in fear.
Fear of the cold-hearted stupidity
                          that comfortably inhabits
                                 the  many minds of today.

Our biggest mistake,
                   taking freedom and technology,
                                                               for granted.
Leaving too much time to think,
             too much time to plot.
             too much time alone.

We become idle,
     so we create our own problems,
     problems that form even bigger problems.
     This is so often done,
                        That now problems fill every country,
                                                            every home,
                                                            every mind.
Problems that lead to depression,
                              to insanity,
                              to death,
                                     whom is unimportant.
Our biggest downfall,
       is to deny each other,
          to deny happiness,
           to deny peace.

We will be the end of ourselves,
            if we do not work together,
            if we don not attempt better days,
            if we do not change our ways.
