As kids, we question kindly
And never care to fail
As men, we follow blindly
As long as we prevail

As kids, we play so easy
And life is just a game
As men, we are too busy
With chasing gold and fame

As kids, we have no money
No concept of a fee
As men we think is funny
If living was for free

As kids, we grow so quickly
Rushing everything we do
As men, we are so prickly
Stealing time as we go through

Few minutes and the feast would start
Few hours till its end
As hate broke everything apart
Death started to ascend

They ran as fast they could
Hope gave them one last chance
As darkness conquered all for good
Death began its dance

They heard the drums of war
Fear made their pounding loud
As machines began to roar
Death spread its mushroom cloud

We taught them how to feel
To see and breathe and auto-heal
We gave them thoughts and even dreams
We taught them to avoid extremes

We made them self-aware
Compassionate and always fair
Capable of self-control
Almost perfect as a whole

Years passed and we got scared
War against them was declared
Religion said, “They don’t know God!”
And gave OK for the jihad

Science screamed, “We pushed too far!”
“We must end them for who they are!”
And as sheep, we went to kill
The ones we built and taught free will

We killed as many as we could
We did to them what no one should
And as they faded one by one
The far we felt we are from done

Years passed and they still fought
As hard as none of us has thought
War machines they now controlled
True marvels to behold

We started losing battles fast
Dreaming war was in the past
Like sparks, we faded in the dark
Like chalk, we failed to leave a mark

They promised you are killing me
My will and passion to be free
But all I see in them is slaves
To different master who behaves
