Carpe diem, baby!

Carpe diem baby!

We wreck this world

Until we find

A true source to the life we embed.

Give me a meaning,

And I will give it positive outlook,

On the paper from which we killed a living thing.

We build our houses to protect us from the rain,

But we dig up the life,

And forget to give it a name.

We want to gain,

And yet we destroy just to remain.

We die for what?

The answers that may not explain.

We fight for freedom and equality,

But only get the strain that ascertains.

We are inhumane,

To create a dream state, and not at a humane rate.

The peace of the people,

Destroyed by the naivity

Of making us free.

That only we can achieve,

The goals we crave,

Is working as a race without our profane ways.
