The light at the end of the tunnel

We see what we want to see 

believe what we want to believe

pretend that everything is alright

and that the morning will come after night

What foolish creatures are we

forgetful of suffering, living carefree

choosing to believe in silly lies

we ignore the children's cries

We'd rather turn on one another 

than offer assistance to our brother

spend trillions on war

what about those who can't fight anymore?

We turn a blind eye to evil

where did we go wrong?

evil born in times primeval

where did we go wrong?

Society is a train

the tracks are progress

the tunnel is evil

there is light at the end

but the tunnel never ends

This is actually really true. We, as humans, have lost touch in our basic humanity. The concept of true and unlimited love has been lost. It's been lost beneath buried centuries of bigotry, greed, hatred and selfish lies. We are broken and we are jaded. We need to fix ourselves. We are ignorant. I believe that this poem describes society very well. :) Great job, Deidara.
