The Curse of Mankind
Stuck in a world of wrath
Innocence born in the Christian bath
Avoiding the seven sins
But soon the transition begins
Failing
Life as an innocent, slowly sailing
You begin to believe and conceive
The idea of money as life’s only need
Fading light
The elements of greed obstructing sight
The darkness begins to bloom
Seeing only personal treasures in this world of doom
You see the world through diamond eyes
Mass betrayal
Loved ones begin disappear, no goodbyes
Ebenezer Scrooge, is the new portrayal
The light cannot breakthrough
Seeing the world through a pirates view
The sun has lost its moon
Loved ones lost to this typhoon
Alone and lost
Skin cold, layered with frost
All this wealth, with no one to show
Sick and tired with nowhere to go
Corruption of the soul
The greed has taken its toll
Having everything
But something is missing
Feeling like worthless gold
Can’t break out
From the devils hold
The struggle is a never ending bout
Stuck in the back is the devil’s claw
Greed was the tragic flaw
It had taken over the mind
It is the curse of mankind…
