It’s lonely when you’re the last one standing

This world is falling apart.

Global warming, growing extinction, resources used up and exhausted.

Mother Nature is punishing us for what we have done to each other.

A world where the wicked prosper.

A world where the poor are punished.

A world where we’re all shaped the same, down to 100th percent of DNA.

We’re all humans.

And yet we all hurt.

An overlap of culture, generation and time, of pain and suffering.

We take it in and we spread it out.

Onto each other, out of fear, out of selfishness, out of self preservation.

But if we destroy each other and everything in sight,

A hell on earth is not worth such a fight.
