Things That Cannot Be Undone

To those who think and commit the unthinkable destruction -
Be it material, physical or spiritual, there'll never be instruction
On how to undo the damage you inflicted on earth and us.
And added to the utter chaos is the loss of mankind's trust.

There is a callous segment of civilization who live only to destroy and hurt.
That's their ambition and even though they feel compelled there is no reason for this hurt.
Without a known or understood reason - the satisfaction must come
From negativity manifesting as destructive attitude. They feel no need to overcome.

When there is a concerted effort to destroy - that is all they can see
And the end results leave a trail of littered lives, places and things that now will never be
Again. They are without remorse - rather feeling very proud of their superficial power
To hurt and destroy. They feel an artificial strength and so important at this hour!

Their time of change will not be, yet - for them to really care
About people for whom they do not care and are not aware that they are unaware.
There is a spiritual incapacity, so apparent here and we can only analyze
And offer prayer as we dry the tears from our own soul's eyes.
