The Human We Are
Smash
Through the
Brittle fabric
Of faith
Reach into the
Cold world
Beyond.
Thrust
Your fist through
the false mirror of love
Wait‘til all
Compassion
Is gone
How corruptible
Is
The human we are
How lying
And guiltless
And proud.
With one hand
They raise the torch
Of goodwill
With the other
They smash
Goodwill down.
Here’s to the liars
The guiltless
The proud
The ones Who do
All
For themselves
Forget
All the dreamers
Who’ve been brought
Down to shame
Because dreams can be
bought
on the shelves
The funniest joke
Is at others expense
Just laugh
At the lame
And the blind
Rip away truth
Give in to the lies
As long as
we’re happy
we’re fine
here’s to the liars
the guiltless
the proud
aren’t they
a wonderful breed?
We’ll kill
The different
The strange
The new
We are all
That we’ll ever need
