Humanity

What use are they

Wretched, greedy things

All the little odds and ends

Yet missing all the springs

A miracle in alchemy

Couldn’t make it right

These parasites

These creature-worms

Cringing from the light

Humanity

We raise it high

But what floats to the top?

The worst of us all crown the hill

No one can make them stop

My heart goes out

To none who rule

These foul bejeweled

These empty kings

Who eat and still they drool

Humanity

Depravity

Oh good, I thought that’d rhyme

It seems even this English thing

Has finally seen

The light

This frothing, angered

Gold-dressed crowd

Should stay trapped in the night
