We’re About to Self Destruct

We’re a nation,

No a world

About to

Self Destruct.

Anger and hatred

They play us like

A fiddle.

One against the

Other

Right against wrong

But when

Guns

And bombs

And fists

Are thrown in

No one’s a winner.

Hate fought with

Hate

Isn’t a winner

An eye for an eye

Is bound to leave

Us all blind.

The ones getting

Hurt in this battle

Are the innocent

Ones

The children

Of all colors, shapes

And sizes

What are they learning

What are they seeing?

Anger and hatred

They play us

Like a fiddle.

We’re a nation,

A world

About to

Self destruct.
