The Insane Asylum Known As Earth

Standard

Earth is just one big insane asylum,
And everyone thinks that they are a nurse,
Our intelligence has grown into ignorance,
It’s a gift that turned into a curse,

We are all fighting over the smallest of scraps,
When there is more than enough to go around,
And we spend a lifetime searching,
For answers not meant to be found,

We all practice witchcraft daily,
Whilst expelling bad vibes,
And we pretend we all stand as one,
Yet we squabble in the smallest of tribes,

We are all deluded with madness,
Whilst believing we are sane,
We live like we are superior beings,
But we forget we have an ape like brain,

We are all patients in an asylum,
Whilst we wear a doctors uniform,
And when its forecast for calm weather,
We are the ones that create a storm,

We dictate and we control,
But call it law,
And even though earth has already gave us everything we will ever need,
We do nothing but demand more,

We take our frustrations out on others,
And we will blame anyone other than ourselves for our own faults,
All whilst ignoring our true feelings,
As we lock them up in vaults

We all put on a fake happy smile,
When secretly we are all breaking inside,
And we even convince ourselves that we are ok,
Cos we refuse to acknowledge that our make believe happiness is a lie,

We waste 90% of our lives,
Working for the colour green,
Yet a true lived life filled with content and love,
Is very rarely seen,

We have grown to live into a world,
Where true kindness is considered weak,
Where dealers, gangsters and corrupt politicians rule the world,
And we all just smile and turn the other cheek,

Yet we will all sit there and moan about it,
And tell the whole pub how we could do it better,
But a petition to fix the problem was made,
But surprise, surprise, you forgot to sign the letter,

Instead of talking to each other,
We gossip and make assumptions,
Which makes us even more reserved,
The 7 deadly sins being our only consumption,

We have failed as a species,
When we could of saved it all,
We are just a bunch of deluded and aggressive,
Dangerous little chimps with make shift tools,

We created racism sexism and homophobia,
Just to start a fight,
We claim to be superior,
All whilst we howl at the moon on a Friday night,

We preach peace,
Yet abide by archaic views,
We say we have “Woken Up”
But in reality, we just hit snooze,

We chop down countless trees,
To write a letter to our government about protecting the rainforest,
And we protest the streets with little picket signs saying “Save the Amazon”,
All whilst we are high as fuck from smoking half the items in a florist,

We drink and we take drugs,
All so we can search for “The Truth”,
Or is “The Reality” we are just running from it,
Or maybe you just fear you’re getting older and need little reminders of your youth,

It seems that no one can accept death,
The idea of us ceasing to exist, classed as mad,
So arrogant that we think we have the right to live again,
That we believe made up little fairy tales just so we don’t get sad,

And we are prepared kill thousands if they have a different view than us,
Preaching love and peace from hundreds and hundreds of different gods,
Stating our religion is the one that will protect us all,
But if you disagree, be prepared to face a firing squad,

It’s mad that as a species we are unable,
To stand together and unite,
Yet it’s common practice,
To stand together and fight,

We are a virus spreading like wild fire,
Cos we do nothing but fuck and procreate,
And if you are unable to naturally conceive your offspring,
You can defy nature and let the machines help you to inseminate,

We are all just crazy and deluded little monkey’s mad on a blood lust,
Stamping our little feet in earths great big insane asylum,
And we accept the mind altering medication from the elders,
Cos no one dare defy them,

Yet, the scary thing is that we could all actually have peace,
If we just didn’t create this chaos ourselves,
Yes, we are all unique and different,
But we are dying of a sickness and we call it good health,

The bigger picture is not us,
And we forget that we share this planet with other lifeforms,
But believing this planet was made solely just for us,
Is sadly know the norm,

And I find it completely and utterly mad,
How you humans go about your day to day,
And sometimes I’m glad that I don’t feel like I’m human,
Cos I wouldn’t want my head to think that way,

I find it funny that you give me anti-psychotics,
When it’s obvious you need it more than I do,
But I suppose we lie to ourselves so much,
That the lies eventually become true,

So if you have just been born, I wish you Good Luck,
In trying to survive in this great big insane asylum called Earth,
Cos Homo Sapiens have fucked it up for us all,
And peace and harmony is something we don’t actually deserve,

So when they do finally decide to drop a nuke,
And destroy all flora, fauna, me and you,
Remember my dear human that we could have fixed all our mistakes,
But we all chose not to.

The End.
