I smile, what for I wonder
I look around and shudder
Hate, hurt, angst and anger,
Tempers hanging on egos slender
Looting, rape, bullying, murder
Destruction and burning all to cinders
Amidst aplenty lingers hunger
Cruelty, even in love, lingers
Why so much noise and plunder?
Is humanity deep in slumber?
How do we face each other?
Why doesn't guilt tear us asunder?
My hands rise up in surrender
But is there a saviour, I wonder.
