For The Hope Of Human-kind



"Peace on earth
Good will towards men"
Heard almost since birth
Over and over again

This concept we claim to advocate
Throughout history rings hollow
We continue to annihilate
We refuse this thought to follow

What is this human thirst
That brought centuries of war
Why have we been coerced
To what we morally abhor

For the hope of human-kind
Let's humanly recast
Our being so inclined
To duplicate our past

It's always amazed me how people who claim to be religious pick and choose the parts of their religion that is convenient to them. Items like "Thou shalt not kill" and "Peace on earth" are ignored, and other items like "an eye for an eye" are adhered to.

Sadly, there are rogues who value power and wealth over human life. Some of us have kind hearts...but only some.
We must figure out a vaccine for the others.
