To Be Human Is to Be Inhuman

History is littered with mankind's atrocities
 Learning to kill each other with greater velocity
 The endless struggle to fulfill needs and desires
 Everyone is capable of intolerance and violence
 In ancient fields and country plains
 Crowded cities filled with remains
 Fighting throughout history
 Ancient battles for supremacy
 From tribal warriors fighting with hands and spears
 To nations torturing and starving millions of their peers
 Humanity has been an example of hatred
 This is how our species has been bred
 Slaughter on a massive scale
 It's the strong who prevail
 Bodies of captives and slaves
 Lie in legions of graves
 In the ground and deep in caves
 Death comes in waves
 Conquer, control and exert dominance
 To help keep society homogenous
 Stand in solidarity to destroy all the others
 Help kill their sons and rape their mothers
 Way before Rome in ancient lands
 Lay slaughtered bodies rotting in sand
 Now living in the modern era
 The number dead is no better
 A single person may be horrible or pleasant
 But grouped together hatred becomes present
 People banded together in a tribe or nation
 Ultimately causes others to suffer deprivation
 Slaughter on a massive scale
 It's the strong who prevail
 Bodies of captives and slaves
 Lie in legions of graves
 In the ground and deep in caves
 Death comes in waves
 Countless examples of the atrocities of man
 From the largest nations to the smallest clan
 Committing torture rape murder and slavery
 Heinous acts mistaken as bravery
 Encoded in our offspring
 Time will not change a thing
 Inhumanity in our past
 Forever it will last
 Where there are humans there is suffering
 Gorging upon corpses recurring
 Growing off of pain and misery
 It was and always shall be
