God, where are you



God, where are you?
Humanity seems as though it's thru
There are no more horrific things we can do
The daily slaughter is nothing new
Perpetrated by the demonic few
I ask what is it
That we can do
To stop the carnage
And begin anew
Is it possible
to change our path?
Can we do better to quench humanity's wrath?
Or are we doomed
to our barbaric fate
Feasting off of our butchers plate
For our society is it to late?
Are we hooked on human bait?
I myself can no longer placate
My feelings for the world
A trivial pursuit I rate
Of humans evil
I have had to eat
Force fed violence
Set to repeat
A daily repast
Of a vile treat
Offered by the callous elite
God, where are you?
