---

Potential energy built to explode.

Contract missed in breach.

Quickly reload.

Target acquired. Outcome desired.

Unrelenting flood, program rewired.

Love thy neighbor, cheat a friend.

God will forgive if everyone can pretend.

Hate without merit.

Tell a lie, lot outrage share it.

Absurdly we gather in the city square.

Civil unrest, bicker about despair,

Insane divided. Empathy is gone.

Bottle rage, trapped in a shrinking cage.

Chorus:

Promised to change, shot out of range.

Boastful claims seem deranged.

Done with thought, only now we feel.

Respect of disrespect, truth revealed.

Nightmares lined up, one by one.

Bent human timeline collapse has begun.

Rusted skin burns like bleeding metal.

Disputes and blame will never be settled.

In our lifetime.

Never good at fiction,

penchant for the brave

Stand up for the underdog.

Walk them to the grave.

Morality over greed.

Decency can’t be feed.

Ill-gotten dollars lobby,

Laws written to suit their needs.

Chorus

My footprint was once

A measure of evolution.

New problems bring

Forth tired old solutions.

Not until recently,

Lack of human decency.

Delivers our date of demise.

Downfall will rise.

Swirling, twirling the flag unfurling.

Hurling lost generations

Into the great abyss.

Unable to fathom this.

Utter failure, ashamed to offend,

Roles reversed still can’t defend.

Experiments gone awry.

Never question why? We didn’t even try.

Can’t be fooled but shouldn’t be surprised.

Low and behold.

The end comes right before our eyes.

Airborne Plague, herd immunity.

Outcome dismal. Failing mental state

Fault the obstinate, tables overturned.

Other than failure what have we learned.

Love thy neighbor, cheat a friend.

God would forgive if everyone can pretend.

Hate without merit.

Tell a lie and let outrage share it.

Promised to change, show out of range.

Boastful claims seem deranged.

Done with thought, now we feel.

Respect or disrespect truth revealed.

Dignity stripped away, civil decay.

Trust is lost, change minds at all costs.

Misinformation, force fed lies.

Click bait spread to those you despise.

Chorus
