Life and Lies!

What is this thing we call life
Which leads us to heartache and strife
We enter this world, innocent of all shame
We grow and mature, learning as we grow
We expand our thoughts, our likes, our hatred
Knowing not why, but we do  
Because we have been indoctrinated since birth
To believe
To believe that others not like us are bad
To believe in success, no matter the cost
To believe that to question is wrong
My belief
Is that we owe this world our lives, not to rape it the way we have
We owe a debt to the millions killed by lovers of Jesus Christ, Mohammed, God
And that debt is to stop acting like humans and become less like the animal we are
Mean, cruel, hateful, greedy, caring only that we have what we want
That we are comfortable
I believe, for our love of our Earth we must vanish, as a species
Like a pestilence, supposedly placed here by a loving God
We are constantly living in fear, of everything
I am facing my fears, by looking in a mirror, by setting myself free
From myself
And all my anger and fears fade away
For I know, I and my thoughts are my worst enemy
Look into your mirror and set yourselves free
