Analysis of Man made madness



We sat late in our lives
Watching madness returns
The old and the young have
Nowhere to hide
In the early hour of dawn
Man and his machines came out
To show we never change
Destruction and death are our currency
We can’t talk, we wouldn’t understand
We are born to kill man, child, beast
And destroy the land
Now the land is burnt, the children
Uprooted and alone
I ask me now what have they done
Where is the gain, where is charity
We kill humanity
We live in absolute in insanity
