the state of man

the state of man is this and this alone
afraid we are of everything in sight
afraid right to the marrow of our bones
afraid that what we're doing isn't right
we're so afraid that what we do is wrong
that we make rules for all so we'll feel better
we go to war so we can prove were strong
and make the guiltless follow to the letter
fear is all that rules us through the day
we kill the very earth that just supports us
we take we take just don't get in our way
our fear reduces everything to dust
love is there but fear stands in it's path
ignoring love we prefer fears deep wrath
