After given it much thought
I wonder why life is sought
Living… why ask for more
Unjust world of conquest and war
And I still wonder what life is for
They claim the big fish eats the small
But we humans, eat it all
In a new world order of domination and thrall
I still wonder if life is worth a recall
Humans first fought for grazing rights
Then exploitation reached new heights
Where greed evolution led them to far places
To conquer new land and native races
I still wonder about life’s bases
But I have realized of late
That it is not life I must hate
Yet, I still wonder, is life that great?
It is human doublespeak and hypocrisy
It is the false promise of democracy
It is the new world power autocracy
Where killing and vengeance is a self fulfilling prophecy
Humanity need redefine
Self interest and political malign
For the human character is not divine
I now know why life is repine
