Sometimes we are only at peace when we are fighting
So strange, but so true how we find calm in adversity
We truly are the strangest breed of all earthly animals...
We are man and lumber disastrously around the world
We care nothing for others, only for ourselves and our own
It matters not to reason, cajole, bribe or impel our soul
Tides of humanity take pleasured turns to hurt and wound
And it has done so with a spirit lately that shames us all
For many decline starts now but soon to us all the end comes
The faster if we have the wit to see that everything will pass
We will leave and never return to seek solace among the stars
For they birthed us for a larger life and we shall let all this pass
Into memory and sad regret, for we were born to be better than this
