The Human We Are
Smash
 Through the
 Brittle fabric
 Of faith
 
 Reach into the
 Cold world
 Beyond.
 
 Thrust 
 Your fist through 
 the false mirror of love
 
 Wait‘til all 
 Compassion
 Is gone
 
 How corruptible
 Is
 The human we are
 
 How lying
 And guiltless
 And proud.
 
 With one hand
 They raise the torch
 Of goodwill
 
 With the other
 They smash
 Goodwill down.
 
 Here’s to the liars
 The guiltless
 The proud
 
 The ones Who do 
 All
 For themselves
 
 Forget 
 All the dreamers
 Who’ve been brought
 Down to shame
 
 Because dreams can be
 bought
 on the shelves
 
 The funniest joke 
 Is at others expense
 
 Just laugh
 At the lame
 And the blind
 
 Rip away truth
 Give in to the lies
 
 As long as 
 we’re happy
 we’re fine
 
 here’s to the liars
 the guiltless
 the proud
 
 aren’t they
 a wonderful breed?
 
 We’ll kill
 The different
 The strange
 The new
 
 We are all
 That we’ll ever need
