Human Nature

by Wilhelm   Oct 3, 2004


Killer, sinner, destroyer of men
The blood of the innocent stained on my hand
Faithless, trust less, betrayer of friends
Greedy, angry, nearing the end

Fearful, spineless, cowards of time
Selfish, Loathing, masters of mine
Vengeful, vain, narcissistic
Pleasured, pained, unrealistic
Messed up, weird, masochistic
Evil, strained, and so sadistic

Billions of lives waiting to die
Billions of tears waiting to cry
Millions of people living in shame
Ten million more taking the blame

So many people desire possession
Soon it consumes them full blown obsession
So many people wish to have power
To be popular, loved, or man of the hour

They don't realize their desires are vain
Helping themselves but causing them pain
Not really knowing the value of life
Living in pain, war, and smothered in strife

If only we could do what mattered
Mending the wounded hearts that are shattered
The reward for this you cannot hold
But it's also something that will never grow old
