Poetry
And the world stands by
While people die
Cringe under the effects of pride
As one man's ego crushes their lives
Another kills their own flesh
Caring nothing for the souls they take
Taking what they want
Never thinking of the other
Cowards in the face of conflict
Running, hiding from their own judgments
And the world looks on
The crushed souls cry for help
No one gives them freedom
Convinced they must live for themselves
Make their own future
Work for lies believing it is truth
And the innocent cry
While the wise humble themselves
Under their burden
But the world--
The world just looks on... and laughs.
While people die
Cringe under the effects of pride
As one man's ego crushes their lives
Another kills their own flesh
Caring nothing for the souls they take
Taking what they want
Never thinking of the other
Cowards in the face of conflict
Running, hiding from their own judgments
And the world looks on
The crushed souls cry for help
No one gives them freedom
Convinced they must live for themselves
Make their own future
Work for lies believing it is truth
And the innocent cry
While the wise humble themselves
Under their burden
But the world--
The world just looks on... and laughs.
