hope is all we have

like fools we follow, blind as sheep
silent evils we all keep
we cannot help but feel the pain
when another person goes insane
though lately no one seems to care
the pain is ours alone to bare
I notice it in every face
dying is the human race
how can I be proud to say
I am human anyway?
you care only for yourself
trying to gain the most wealth
"money makes the world go round"
isn’t that an awful sound?
poverty spreading everywhere
governments pretend to care
we know the truth is they do not
they only value what they’ve got

looking up with tears in my eyes
as the world darkens, at the cloudy skies
the day draws near
and my heart stills with fear
the question on everyone’s mind
who will die, and who's left behind
going about from day to day
wont make the reality go away
we might not live to see the end
on that alone you can depend

we try and try with all our might
but never can we win the fight
darkness consuming every light
days turning into night
we fight a battle bound to loose
this path wasn’t ours to choose
forced by those who say they care
but in the battles, they aren’t there
sitting on the throne they built
never feeling any guilt
a thousand dying every day
for us a loss, for them its play

we are bound to this dismal fate
our children growing up with hate
hope is all that will keep us alive
and hope is what we must all for strive
for even in the darkest place
hope can recognize your face
