The Human Empire
It's in the sky, another day
Has risen in the space.
And every time I start to think
About this lonely place.
They came and within time
Began a legacy.
One moment in our lives
Is purpose brought to be.
In one world lost and cruel,
Where all are primitive
Where we hold no worth,
And shouldn't get to live.
They're giving us a purpose
They're giving us a chance
You say you'll always hate them
You need to take a glance.
They're exposing us to life.
Breaking down our ignorance.
Now we must question
Our own sentience.
In a world where our fears
Makes monsters seem so real
Where trust is just a joke
And we find comfort in surreal
Where there is no fair chance
And we grow up far too soon,
Where no one seems to listen,
While words of hate we croon.
I don't see a difference
In either society.
Our love will die as well
Equilibrium eventually.
The downfall of the human race
Will never come as near
As the downfall of our awareness
Of precious things so clear.
Our cares go about as far
From blood to the next blood,
Water separates this bond
Destroying brotherhood.
You say they're all just evil
Just look at where we are.
We're no different from them.
Except... they wouldn't go as far.
