The Truth About Humanity
Greed is the epidemic swallowing the world whole from within
Tender womb, soft pink flesh in the pull of mother's breath
Missing is the fetus floating inside the nest
Replaced instead by a pack of gnarly, slashing rats
Bleeding of the earth in an uncompromising wrath
Digging in the thin of skin
Cancer eating away in the form of a billion sentient beings
With freedom and a universe that supposedly bends to the will
Allowing the user to create reality of choosing
Yet war always wins
Greed is always
Stepping on the next man to reach a higher perch
Consumption is always falling into it's own wretched blackness
The scale of the world is having the powerful squeeze the
meat out of the very mouths of the weak
The decline is ever sharpening
The disease is ever multiplying
The natural resources burning away into nothing
You are the injection
Left here to eat away
All that is good
