When Somebody’s Dead
Some times I just have to pontificate
No way I can exonerate
The narcissistic actions I see
And just how cruel some people can be
Makes me ashamed of the human race
And the consequences, don’t want to face
It’s just a blame game, shout the name
Gain your fame, there is no shame
But we’re all part of the same team
Cultures different as it would seem
“But people still,” I want to scream
There is no cause for an ugly meme
That root produces evil and hate
Drawing conclusions of a destructive fate
Spewing words like an atomic bomb
Cannot stand it, when there is calm
But we all have eyes and ears and skin
Lungs that breathe and a heartbeat within
Why can’t we just see the person inside
Humble ourselves and put away our pride
OK, rant over, but it just had to be said
Nobody wins, when somebody’s dead
