You've never been to hell
So you don't know the depths of evil
Your demons come at you straight on
They grin at you and you shoo them away.

Your world is full of the craziness that you desire, not the madness you can't handle

You have never been to war
Youve not seen the devil's workshop

Your pain and your misery need not grow
And your happiness is relevant
But you cannot complain
You cannot smile at a blinded soldier
Your smug gesture of empathy will not brighten their day

You've dedicated your life to the pursuit of money

To really care about the suffering of others is to stop what you are doing

To really understand how shitty life is for certain people
Is to dedicate time to that world

But you have strategically separated yourself from that world and you have effortlessly pushed that suffering out of your mind.

"First help yourself" they always say.
And you interpret it to mean: "first help yourself to the luxurious lifestyle you crave"

First help yourself to all the food and then share the crumbs from the backseat of your Mercedes Benz.

20 years will go by and the world will be the same unjust, money-obsessed place it's always been.
There is no evil greater than greed
