we of human toxicity

can't we stop?

doing nothing

Because it is not worth

we of human toxicity

We will always fight

we will always try

we

we pause for thought

can't hide the poison

but

we try to rise above

to better ourselves

from the virus

But are knocked down

the muck

rise above

We continue to rise

Rise in our depravity

sense of privilege

and unforgivable

apathy

our wretched society

and

our stinking species

Thanks for reading!
