Soldiers marching off to war.
More existences filled with gore.
Everywhere you look there’s a reminder.
This world is never growing kinder.
As bodies fill up the mortuaries.
Fathers, sons, mothers and daughters.
No thought for those being slaughtered.
Upon this altar of greedy self-destruction.
Progress swapped for stagnation.
Madness has long since be welcomed in the door.
Full swing embrace of adoring every flaw.
Without considering any global cost.
Seems intelligence will soon be lost.
Devolution back to more primitive times.
Failing to meet potential that was within grasp.
Content with the malcontent of falling fast.
Head on collision anyone can see.
Obliteration through ignoring constantly.
Is this a beginning of an end too soon?
Hastened by our rigid outdated system.
Smiling as our arrogance impales longevity.
Repentance won’t bring the rapture.
No matter what we can’t prepare…
For the collective slash of our throats.
It’ll choke off our final notes.
Stained by decay that we’ve brought.
Legacy of squander wrought.
