New Way to be Human

Is there a new way to be human ?
Between jealousy and prejudices
Misunderstandings as they are called
Leading to war and cruelty
How could that happen ?

Hate or love
Nothing between , I guess
The TV’s message is clear
Does it even matter anymore
What it is spoken about ?
Is it not enough to take a look
And see what is going on

Too lazy, too blinded
Or why does it seem
To be so easy
To tell so many people
Who is right or wrong ?

The silly mass of population
Is it that what we are ?
Idiots waiting for their next order
Listing to the lies some people tell us
From TV and radio, newspaper and the world wide web
Why are you so sure that everything is true
That is plugged into your mouth ?

Cruelty and death, justice and harm
Violence and racism, punishment and disaccords
Can you make a difference anymore
Between what is told us
Between what they do and how they defend it is right

Bulk in the hands of some mad persons
Simple to form and manipulate
Have you ever thought about ?
What you can do to stop that madness ?
Or do you like to be a cue ball ?

Yet you are at home
This violence far away
But guess what
You will be the next
Perhaps not tomorrow
Not next week or next month
But soon
Cannon fodder in the next inane war
About misunderstandings and prejudices

But we should talk straight
This is just an excuse
I am sorry to say that this was not all a wreck
It was planned and you will might be the next
To be injured and left alone, because of a mistake

But if you like to be a part
Of this manipulative mass
Letting a few people have a power
They aren’t meant to have
Controlling people and nations
For what they think is right or wrong
For raw materials and a friendly handshake

Use your own power
The only power you still have
Vote for what you believe is right
Stand in for your view
To stop our world
Becoming destroyed even more
Do not look the other way
You are yet in this nightmare
It is reality

Ban this world to become
Even more inhuman
Because standing at the edge
And looking the other way
Is no excuse
That does not make
The way you act human
Though you do not even act
That is exactly what makes you inhuman
Standing still and believing that this all is nothing to you
Is not a new way to be human

*Please, tell me what you think, that would mean a lot to me.

Thanks.
