For The Love Of Mankind

When I'm physically no longer part of this world

But look down on what's left behind

The eternal hatred that will exist here forever

I'm really and truly of two minds

I'll miss my loved ones and wish them good fortune

But a feeling of sadness fills my heart

The nature of man has always been combative

From way back when it all had its start

Why do we possess this overpowering need

To destroy all that man has achieved

There's no rhyme or reason for acting this way

Except for selfish reasons perceived

An intense desire to own other men's treasures

In the name of all that is holy

To kill and maim and destroy man's icons

Methinks its jealousy only

When I'm physically no longer part of this world

But look down on what's left behind

A great feeling of sadness will overcome my soul

As I pray for the love of mankind
