Perishing Mankind

the bullets are ripping through the crowd/
the revolution is falling into parts/
the starving are buried by the sand/
forgotten and never before seen/

have you seen newborn dying on their first day of live/
have you seen children starving in a faraway land/
have you seen young men crying on their first day of war/
have you seen the old one dying in a silent room alone/
have you seen widows crying waiting for their fallen men/

they were only men who wanted to be/
only want to be just like we are/
they were only men who wanted to be/
in a perishing mankind/

have you seen atomic waste buried under mountains/
have you seen forests burning feeding humans greed/
have you seen dead fishes floating in a poisoned sea/
have you seen peoples killing fighting for their religion/
have you seen heroes dying in a quiet blaze of glory/
