Virus of Humanity

 

 

Humans want it all and they want it right now

They just want theirs and they do not care how

The harsh truth is that we are all here just to survive

We join this material rat race and fail to feel truly alive

Sold the lie that we exist to try and be happy

We fail over and over in this collapsing society

 


I’m so fucking tired of watching this mess spread

I’m so fucking tired of seeing so many that inside are already dead

Everyone we love will die and the future is misery

Walking through life with their eyes closed; it's too painful to see

 


Multiplying, spreading, and ruining

Humanity will be humanity’s undoing

They do not care for the future for they will be dead anyway

The world can die, but it should wait until they're in a state of decay

 


Speeding towards the Earth’s finite wall

Living in the age of the human race’s fall

Overpopulation, coming to a planet near you

Overpopulation, and nothing you can do

Overpopulation, use up all with endless greed

Overpopulation, nothing will fill this destructive need

 


All I see is the virus of humanity

Self absorbed and all about me

The virus of humanity

Eyes closed because it's too painful to see

The virus of humanity

Message Conditioning

We get the I Want bug at birth and want more as we die. I want wealth and power, I will have neither wealth nor power. I do wish those with wealth and power are wise, but I am a dreamer. ~A~
