Cynicism and pessimism

Rule this world so cruel,

Those of us who see it

Laugh and cry and scream,

Hoping all the while

To wake up from this dream

Cruelty and oppression

Stepping over those who fall,

If ever we look below us

We’re know we’re supported by other’s pain,

Some people work to stop this

Those people work in vain

Hatred and destruction

Armies bringing death,

Villages are battle grounds

Full of flying lead,

Ware eventually end

But that’s little comfort to the dead

This is the world we live in

A depressing sight indeed,

It’s really our own fault

We’re to lazy to do the work,

Even if we succeeded

In the shadows it would always would lurk
