The Human Race



The human race  a parasite;
Upon this planet earth,
Vast landscape that so beautiful.
Enjoyed by all since birth.

It’s splendours are so glorious
Bewildered to our mind,
Our blood is fuelled by hate and greed;
Destructive humankind.

Instead of love, prosperity
We bathe in bigotry ,
Creating cultural divide
Across each land and sea.

If tyranny claims soul of man,
Life’s gifts closed to explore
Our spirit cages within it’s tomb,
Chained by man’s rule of law.

To FREE ourselves from corporate chains
We first must stand as one.
Relinquish all impurities
Before MAN KIND is none.
