The Mighty Human Race

You spill into this world
Bringing smiles for all you meet
Drink it in and read your hand as you begin to find your feet
Some get silver spoons
Though often fortune's poor
But innocence fades in all of you
So you do what you came here for

All hail the mighty human race

The early days have set the stage
Slip back into your role
You've had a rough beginning
Being human takes its toll
Now kill some time to find
From whence that poison arrow came
Nevermind the antidote
Perhaps integrity can wait

All hail the reckless human race

You fell forests on a whim
Have the land at beck and call
You're a slow and painful death
For creatures great and small
Experience leaves you wise
It's time to share your bread
But with Earth and all her grace lain waste it seems you're better dead

All hail the shameless human race

As your beating sun sets
One last time Earth suffers your shade
Your regrets mean all but nothing now you lack the time to change
When your damage is dealt, your time is up and you've no power left to abuse
Each second spawns more children
With feet to fill your shoes

Despite the flow of food and water
The issue resides in your pecking order
Despite the knowledge and the means
Only love will balance the equation it seems
How many worlds will be defiled and razed before humanity sees it must change its ways?
So little you know, but so certain you're right
All I hope is that you make it through the night
