Amen

Amen to all men and women that birth the children off eternity, generations yet to come possible because of the countless
That have gone before in concession

Humanity has illuminated Earth, but hearts
Have turned cold respect seems all but dead except for the faithful, too many are
Hateful and greedy putting self first always

People killing for fame what a shame on society who give it to them through the media who ruled by the elite purposely done for power and sickening greed

I have lost my faith in humanity all the joy killers and the vanity as we desend into falsehood which is an insult to those who remain pure of heart the love of truth lost

Lost on the ears of the ignorant who couldn't care less about the person within arms reach, a leech sucking innocence from its prey, I remember times before
Long since gone when people cared.

Hello, Ziggy,
"...a leech sucking innocence from its prey..."
Incredibly sad, and true. Strong language and emotion. Amen, indeed.
Thank you!
