We of the Earth
We of reality’s breed
Want one more day of peace
We spend our lives running from death
Trying to flee from something
That has already found us, Understanding
Pain that we feel is fleeting
Sympathy that we feel is arrogance
Nothing is as fake as 20th century compassion
Hitler slaughtered six million Jews
Stalin ten million Russians
Men of death we remember
Men of peace we forget
Patton wrote insightful poetry
Yet we remember his brutal violence
We wonder why the world is evil
O’ great creator of life
Grant me one last wish.
Give humanity compassion and beauty
Let us forget this century, let us be human
