Where do we go from here?  
Why are we told we must persevere?  
 
We do not learn from our past mistakes!  
Is living for survival - what it truly takes?  
 
To live for today, and the hell with tomorrow 
We live for ourselves, believing life is only borrowed 
 
Yet we want to be part of society’s madness 
Even if it means living our lives - with such sadness 
 
We convict criminals for crimes, they have committed 
Yet dropping bombs on women and children - is legally permitted 
 
Take those bums out of Washington, who brain wash us all 
Lock them all up in a cell, see how long - before they bawl 
 
Give them all - a one-way ticket to hell,  
And provide them all, with a happy farewell 
 
Let us live our lives with love and dignity 
Something not learned by politicians - in our universities
