Murder on a major scale
Killing in the name of the
Greatest religion of all.

Money.

Techno-marvels that stagger the
Mind in complexity,
And strain the budget in
Expense.

Grown men and women who
Grew up under the shadow
Of the Mushroom Cloud
Now prey to a new god.

Video warfare -- instant
Satellite links with carnage
From around the world.

A top forty countdown
Featuring songs of the
Worst of man.

Animalistic in cruelty,
Global in scope and 
Forever haunting our souls.

What kind of world would we
Live in if the cavedwellers
Never threw the first stone
Over a piece of food.

Or a pretty woman.

Or just for the hell of it.

What if man's endless creativity
And imagination for destruction
Was put to better use?

Would the world's hospital
Wards be teeming with patients
Eaten alive from the inside as
Cancer and AIDS steals a life
Piece by piece?

Would our city streets serve as
A concrete mattress for the masses
Without a roof over their heads
To call home?

The dark flower of man's inhumanity
Lives on while the fruit of kindness
Always dies a quick death.
