The Human Condition
Through the ages and waves of time,
many people have changed the human kind.
In good ways and in bad,
from one trend to the next fad.
Languages, societies, governments, and religions,
personalities, morals, knowledge and visions.
Everyone has their own logic and views,
reading their books and watching the news,
using the internet and searching for clues.
Some people argue while others relax,
contemplating the world as we all collapse.
From the gravely important to the trivial matters,
when there are words to exchange everyone gathers.
Guided to misguided, level headed to brainwashed,
we are a mixed bag of the intelligent and the lost.
Human nature is that of which we are born,
the human condition always rages the storm.
The winds of judgment, the thunder of ignorance,
the rain of indifference, and the lightning of intolerance.
After the storm, the calming warmth that surrounds us all,
like minded familiars allow us not to fall.
No matter what some may say you cannot deny,
some see the truth while others live a lie.
Our instincts and desires are not to be denied,
no religion or social taboo shall keep them tied.
Sex, drugs, life styles to name just a few,
never lie to yourself and always remain true.
Science, logic, common sense, and thought,
will lead the way to the correct spot.
To have faith in god and morals to obtain,
is all fine and well as long as they do not restrain,
what it means to be human, we must always maintain.
As long as no real harm, insult, or blatant stupidity takes place,
no judgmental concern should plead your case.
Regardless of our individual differences,
we continue on, building then tearing down fences.
That’s the sheer beauty of the human condition,
it’s both good and bad, the ultimate coalition.
Fields of Gray
I sit in my chair thinking of the world today,
the state that it’s in causes so much dismay.
So much hate, intolerance, bickering and conflict,
tied down, beaten and bloodied, and made to submit.
All of these politicians think they know what’s best,
the senate, the congress, the president, what about the rest?
They make us believe we make a difference through votes,
when in all reality they let us down, drowning without boats.
Organized religion and the wars they have started,
all the blood spilled from the brainwashed extremists, retarded!
Rednecks and racists, gangsters and guns,
I run for so long as the fear fills my lungs.
Running to avoid these people who like to play,
tedious and cruel games in these fields of gray.
From the first breaths of birth to the release of death,
all of these screams in between, there is nothing left.
