and the earth dies without a thought..............

a war makes a beast
of men once with faith
another politician climbs a ladder
and pulls it up without haste
the charities give to power
while the children go to waste
and a leader with pride
joins the munitions race
a child of divorce
feels even less of worth
a sixteen year old mom
gives yet another birth
tax kills a widow
who grapples with dearth
cancer continues,
while we're cancer to Earth
industry claims
to help common man
but seem to help only those
who put cash in their hands
a survivalist fights back
and no one understands
a flag burns in the distance
un-united we stand
a prison overcrowds
released are many
but only the ones
who've saved a pretty penny
the innocent cry
only to lose their sanity
unfair is justice
more faith grows empty
is there anything to sacrifice
anything at all
something to erode
this self-mending wall
standing around
we let it grow tall
and listen to the echo
when help is called
the mornings of happiness
end with nights of sorrow
holding on to the hope
that there will be a tomorrow
but as humans rape more
their hearts become hollow
and the earth died with thought
our species just follow
