We run away from the responsibility
of life;
We flee from justice;
We hide from truth.

We prosper in destruction;
We grow in cruelty;
We thrive in lies.

We laugh in the wake of death;
We cheer in the suffering of others;
We celebrate in violence.

My inspiration for this piece was how we, as people, act toward life and toward others
