Are We Really, The Intelligent Species?

It's sad to think about what's going on

And that we as a species, certainly could take control

But when greed prevails and all else fails

The planet and the human race will, eventually suffer the toll

Oh to think of the solace it brings, like flowers 'n babies and things

And to truly, enjoy the sun when it's shining

'Cause mostly every day the sky's so gray

Unable to find the dark cloud, the one with the silver lining

Belligerence and grief, turmoil and strife

There is so, so much lying and dying

Just attempt for one day, not to hear the media say

For we are bombarded with unrest, truly without even trying

Why does it have to be reiterated, so many nation's being obliterated?

You can bet your last dollar it won't take a scholar to see through

Certainly not justice that courses, you got it, it's their natural resources

Taxpayers pay the costs of incursions and outright subversions, benefitting only the Few

'Cause there ain't no trouble turning another country to rubble

When a powerful Nation's People, pick up the cost

Sixty-three thousand isn't that wild, for every man, woman and child

Monies that could've been spent on infrastructure, utterly and totally lost

With the masses kept muted and many environments polluted

Come on, it's a little solace and peace that we need

But the stark reality is, it's the central banker's show biz

And continue will, the collusion, intrusion and greed

This should come as no surprise, but you must realize

And in wonderment, when will it cease?

This statement remains, for central bankers hold the reigns

'Cause baby, there ain't no money in peace

For the Few's misgivings and failings and the planet's ailings

Do you think it's more than just a thesis?

And the question that prevails and truly it pales

Are we really, the intelligent species?
