Benevolence

What has this world come to? We are living as caged animals in a zoo Pacing the floor and feeling confined Wondering, Is it safe to go outside ? Seclusion is not the way to hide Do something beneficial for mankind Why are people being so cruel? These narcissisic performances are of a fool Ruthless foolish acts of a cowardly soul Filled with hard-heartedness, think they're in control Infrequency of love and respect are so real Kindness is what a human heart should never conceal A transformation of kindness for this world must succeed So the insane numbness of the cowardly will concede Restoration of instilled morals must come to pass If not, rational mankind will not last We have the choice of being cruel or kind Benevolence is what I choose to benefit and restore mankind
