thought we were beyond
the
ancient cruelty
and were the last generation
to
witness the sorrow
shame en masse
thought we were on
the healing path
but surprise
here we are
again
I’d have never guess it
thought we’d laid
those old ways to waste
and learned our lesson
oh
god, oh god, oh god
we’ve given them the space
to
murder the planet,
to rebuild the glass ceiling
to
spit in Martin’s face
using religion as justification
protecting the evil zealots
while we kill and cripple
their beautiful hosts
I’ve lost faith in humanity
maybe I’m the fool
and society is meant to be…
stupid
