Gold and Stone

Humanity closed in and suffocating in hate,
Empathy lost, destruction sealing your fate.
The sunsets are dying,
I can feel it inside,
I see something faulty in the majorities eyes.
Mosaic angels weep our blood,
And you can't see beyond the darkness that you love.
Whispering shadows crawl on the ground,
Splintering windows reflect what I know now.
Does your reflection make you happy and safe?
Are you telling yourself that it's not too late?
Veneer crushed in the bathroom sink,
Black ink clouds and won't allow you to think.
Breathe in the sparkle and exhale out the dust,
You're cruel and misguided, you're not one of us.
The more I know you the more you hide,
The more you make yourself into something that I don't like.
You crush the innocent despite their cries,
You think you know everything but all you know is a lie.
None of us can breathe, we all kill what we need,
We plow each other over, worse than animals it seems.
They still protect while we play with emotion,
We twist what we want despite the devotion.
The edges of your eyes are dark, I will escape,
You will miss your mark.
Humans are filled to the top with greed,
We never want the things that we  really need.
Materials own us and bind us in chains,
We lose our self in silks sand pain.
Breathe in trust, peaceful nights, and starlit skies,
Remember whether by fire, water or ice everyone dies.
What are you made of?
Sinew and blood?
Or did you trade it for stone and gold?
How does life taste now with your blood running cold?
