When Somebody’s Dead

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
