Battered And Bruised

Corruption and disease have swallowed this world, left us all to blame

Lust and its hateful consuming of dreams plays an evil game

From the day we tasted the fruit, the falling of mankind

Evil has begotten its way, has left all else behind

This knowledge makes us blind

Morality divine

We have become

Battered and bruised

We all are fallen

Battered and bruised

Eve the setting of sun

Leave nowhere to run

Time ticking in haste

Gone, what a waste

Stilness of the night now loud and absurd, corrupting every thought

Leaders of this world consumed in debate, what lessons can be taught?
