My faith in humanity is gone
I wish things were different
But I’ve run out of patience
And we’ve run out of time

It’s high time we formed the battle lines
In a world divided
It’s time to unite
But it’s easier said than done
It seems that everyone is only looking out for themselves
Leaving others out to dry
Abandoning neighbors as a result of their pride

What has the world come to?
Where have peace and love gone to?
Where is the compassion? The empathy?
My faith in humanity is gone
At one time I thought that it could be restored
But now I’m not so sure

Time after time it seems that corruption wins
The morally reprehensible have gotten away with it again
When will it end?
When will the evil get the damnation that they deserve?
Is karma still alive and well?

I’m sitting here waiting for them to get their just deserts
But will I stay waiting?
Humanity used to have a moral compass
But it’s been spinning out of control
My faith in humanity is gone
I am a misanthrope

I’ve grown more cynical over time
The things I was taught when I was younger are only ideals
Humanity is dead
Our future bleak
Tell me, tell me when will it end?

I still have faith that good will overcome evil
I hold onto it, cling to my last gasp of hope
My faith in humanity is gone
But please will some justice be served?
I still believe that one day we will overcome
But what little faith left slowly ticks down
Please won’t something come and give us reason for hope again?
One day virtue will be restored
