Human Nature (Angry Poem)

And thus I kiss my cigarette and close my eyes again

For I’m still warding off the thoughts that this world is but pain

For, once again, I’ve been reminded how much I truly hate

This world that I’ve been living in, this planet, this cruel fate

Once again, I came to see that nothing ever really matters

And that the world’ll keep going on plucking out all my feathers

So wings have become useless now, so has imagination

And, sadly, it is safe to say, God damned all His creation

Humanity’s a disappointment, the Earth’s a defected playground

Reality’s a shattered mirror, dreams so hard to be found

Complacency’s ruling the realm, we aim for mediocrity

And now we’re going day by day, on paths engraved with apathy

An amalgam of selfishness, greed, lies and sheer deception

Fed by a constant fear of failure and rejection

Humanity has become wicked, or been so all along

And people just keep living on, still thinking that we’re strong

A pseudo-sacrosanct travesty – definition of life

All laid down on a kitchen table and butchered with a knife

We lost ourselves in shallowness and self-inflicted pain

And that is why I’ll close my eyes again, again, again
