Humanity
Humanity the trivial species
Do we seek to destroy
Or do we seek to create
Are we capable of innovation
The thoughts that make us unique
Or was innovation lost to time
Always humans think
But what comes of the thoughts
Nothing we are thinkers now
Questions go unanswered
While humanity contemplates
That which is trivial
So has the time come for
The fall of humanity
Or the time of new innovation
Only time will tell
If humanity has found its
Long lost soul
The heart of humanity
Founded not upon hate
But upon the principles
Of love
Of hope
Of innovation
Shall the heart start once again
Or come crashing down
In a nuclear blunder
