a cursed world we live in
gyrating and winning in sin
a rush of blood to the head
eternal damnation when we are dead

we are closer to the end of our race
peak fooling in fast pace
a toddler has already being made a mother
her deranged husband needs to be murdered

we are swimming to the bank of extinction
countries amass themselves with weapons of destruction
it’s citizens malnourished and destitute
but the madness in government is constantly absolute

a broken heart is a ticking bomb
shading her pain like bread crumb
we are all guilty of everyday turmoil
life is slippery like a foot on oil

give a good wine to a dying soul
place his carcass on the boat and let it row
for he once lived gallantly in this world of pain and shame
despite it all, he died along with his fame

a stream for all to drink water
sharing its pathway in a gutter
how fickle can the human mind be
animals are smarter than us, even the bees

a little sleep, a little slumber
our humanity is already outnumbered
there’s no good left again in this world
even death is tired and bored
