How Do Any of us Survive?

How do we keep ourselves alive
How does humanity survive
Why does thought conquer fact
And why must we always fight back
Intelligence we've always lacked
And that's my point exactly
We believe what we can't see
And we kill over unproven facts
We waste our lives on silly dreams
What is hope made out of I ask
It's make of what's not really there
We get it from the polluted air
Hope is a word I can't define
For I believe I have lost mine
What happened to childhood days
When monsters weren't under my
Bed
When Santa clause wasn't dead
When you're so young and full of
Life
People try to make it pure
They fill you with silly fantasies
Don't tell you of monsters
Or what death really is
When you're just a little kid
When you're just a 3 year old
When nothing makes sense
And you don't care
When hope existed in the air
You breath it in each day each year
You start to learn
Monsters are real
You find out what heaven is
You learn about what dying is
You learn that you're not a real
Super hero and you're never
Gonna fly
If you jump off a building you'll
Just fall down and die
You get a little older and things
Still don't make sense
You go to school and make some
Friends and you want life to never
End
You say you want to live to 100
What is with these dreams of yours
Why don't you just step outdoors
Look around
No look closer
We're not speaking of your
Backyard
We're talking about the death
The sadness the misery around
Why would you want to live in a
Such a shitty place
In such a shitty town
In such a fu/cked up world
What's wrong with humanity
Haven't they seen they've lost
Their sanity
If we keep living in hopes and
Dreams
We wont see the trouble in front
Of us
We wont look both ways so we'll
Get hit by a bus
If you don't shut up and listen
To the world crying
You'll never know how much of
The world is dying
