I as one, cannot clean the water. Let it be free of mud and dirt.
Emptied, used, plastic bottles on their feet, while I walk in leather boots.
I cannot be the one to supply them all with clean shirts.
A daily fight for survival, so genuine and born into poverty.
Born into a world they did not ask for.
Born only to know the ugliness of the world.
They deserve more.

Bones showing through the tight skin upon their body.
Arms no bigger then the width of two of my fingers.
all torn up, no feeling left on the souls of their feet.

Mother holding her son, his wilting away with nothing to eat.
Never knowing the meaning of a treat.
Make due with supplies they have, they do not complain.
Working hard to survive, they shouldnt have to live like this.

What happen to the community.
What happened to the world.
What happened to living in pure bliss.

Bombs getting dropped from thousands of feet.
Terror striking, here, there, and everywhere.
Lives lost, humanity dying, monsters evolving.
Compassion being drown by power.

Religion breaking us apart.
Two men cant marry, two women shamed for their love.
No equal rights, the turn this world has taken I choose to take no part.

What happen to the beauty and the art ?
The love and peace.
World divided, no love all hate.

The worlds at war and no one cares.
How many people have to die, how many more to sacrifice their life.
When will love beat hate?
When will peace become more important then power.
Poor become poorer while the rich gain more Fortune.

Suicidal bombings.
Shooting down another life.
What happened, where did we go wrong.
To live so divided, a couple hundered more years and will have of made ourself extinct.
Im so split between the beauty of the world natures created and the tortuous hell
Humanitys created.

I cannot be one person to change all this.
Daily the pain of the world brings me down.
To know how bad its all become.
To see the future we hold for ourselves.

To watch it all burn in the hands of only us to blame.
Controlled by a government with priorities all in the wrong place.
For whats coming Ill never fully be braced.

We are the creators of our own destiny.
We are the destroyers of ourselves.

For what will become we all do expect.
For what we know, there will be no change.
Human race has failed this place.
