The Bullshit that wipes out humanity

Famine in the lands

We can clone animals in a labs

People are starving for lack sustenance

I don't get it or understand

Missiles are created occasionally

Pointed at us

Only the strong survive  

The weak die daily

 

 The wealthy stay alive

 Feeding their over abundant lives

 And they're  greedy

 Poor are in need and depleting

 

 There is something wrong with this land

 When a rapists spends less time in jail

 Than a man who owes child support

 Or a killer gets off of life time imprisonment

 While a man rots who sold a rock

 

 Teachers engaging in lessons with students

 Which should never be taught

 Mangling their young minds

Destroying the process of healthy thought

 Road rage

People shooting cause you cut them off

Driving down a street

This stuff is deep

 

 It's that bullshit that wipes out humanity

 

 When police can club you down on the streets

 Videotaping is your only relief

 For police brutality to cease

 What if there was no one around to see?

 

 Ever drug made has a dangerous side effect

 Drug companies make millions off of insurance neglect

 Seniors pay more for their meds

 Than their living expenses

 People work without insurance...too expensive

 

 

 

 We live off of what media tells us

 We never question it

 We trust what the government

  Says is true

 

 Ohhh only if you knew

 

 We find money to travel to space

 Can't find the money for a homeless person to stay

 

 We cut funding for programs

 Wonder why our kids run wild

 Our children having child

 Delinquency back in style

 

 

 The bullshit that wipes out humanity

 

 Our country's sickness and insanity

 Our attitudes

 We obtain more than we need to use

 Wasting resources others need

 

 Our weather is out of control

 We are abusing our natural resources

 and it's taking a toll

 

 On you and me

 our earthy scenery

 

Someone help us

help me

 

Before bullshit wipes out humanity
