HUMANITY, A MYTH

Watching the last ray of hope

Flickering away into the nothing,

That last tiny bit of the souls

Fading away into the abyss,

I watch, astonished

What has the world come to?

Humans there are, humanity, no trace

Stubborn are the hearts, have lost their grace

What made them superior,

Has brought them down

From the realm of the skies

to beneath the ground,

These humans today,

Are nothing but the wild beasts,

Unleashed into the daylight,

Crawling in the midnight,

The monsters within them

Hiding behind the masks,

As if there was a masquerade,

Going on till eternity,

There lies deception, the fallacy, the facade

Trying to reach perfection, idealizing the regard,

The flames of passion are fuming within

The evil has conquered, the mighty sins win,

Pretentious they are, dead inside

Poison surging within, they walk beside.

Ah, humans they call themselves, humanity they speak,

The souls are trapped in the dark, the hearts are weak,

Weak enough to feel the pain, covered with lust,

humanity that there once was, turned ash and flew with dust.
