I weep for the coughs I hear down the hall
I weep for the kiss I've learned not to miss
I weep for the crows and their merciless calls
I weep for the ignorance, probably not in bliss
I weep for the television, the radio, the news
I weep for the children, the arms, the mind
I weep for the emotional physical abuse
Are those bombs falling from the sky?
I weep for the cities crashing one by one
I weep for the world holding cattle of man
I weep for the seas glowing red with blood
I weep for the guy, laying, gasping for air
I weep for the boy sleeping on white dust
I weep for the girl blowing out red candles
I weep for the parent begging for burnt crust
Is there anything we can't handle?
And I weep for the sake of humane humanity
I wish for more compassionate mentality
I hope for nurturing loving maturity
I pray for the some sort of sound sensibility
So many years of ingenious evolution
So many years of quickened progress
Always on point with being efficient
Maybe it's time to start mourning before death.
