Penance - Penance

Sit and watch the world, I contemplate

Existence ill legitimate, a quirk of fate

Is man of God or just Nature’s folly

Still with intelligence, we all are crawling

One step forward and two steps back

Bring man’s destined descent into black

What does existence hold for me

A mutation of what man conceives

Did you ever step back and look at yourself

You might not like what you see

And with each dawn that brings a new day’s breath

For most it means life, but for me it means death

Man is a paradox drowning in irony

The world is chained to man’s reality

Can’t you see

It wasn’t meant to be

Not you or me

Humanity… You're killing me
