The Sad History Of The World - Ventana

We always catch on late

After we hurt the ones who care

And then we cry for ages

Yet we never learn to share

The teachings of our fallen heroes

To those who are different

We just repeat this deadly cycle

And become abhorrent

This is it, this is how we sealed our fate

By our hate, by our choice to discriminate

Every messenger we shall incriminate

We bleed the freak and then suffer from our mistake

What we need is some faith and discipline

We need to wash all this innocent blood off our skin

Access the ignorance, the secrets, the lies, and the sin

Reflect on errors of the past and let a future begin

We are monkeys with ammo

Nothing advanced more

We are a needy f**king species

We are dogs of war

Jesus Christ and Pontius Pilate

Martin Luther King and the L.A. riots

This is the sad history of the world

The people that we hate, then we kill, never

learn

Hitler, Bush, and Napoleon

Adam and Eve and the original sin

Lessons lost in time;

hatred reoccurs

The sound of scraping metal, the earth can barely turn

Hiroshima and Vietnam

Albert Einstein’s atomic bomb

The suffering still continues and always will until the end of time

Why do we expel the ones that could save us?

Maybe it’s time that we shut up and listen

Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy

A fatal shot to democracy

Area 51, cancer and AIDS

The holocaust and the crusades

The truth is buried

We kill what we don’t understand

Maybe it’s time to expand our feeble minds
