This one was long-overdue...

Or at least.. I've been wanting to make it for quite some time.

Note: "不満" does not translate to "Human," I was doing wordplay... Try figuring it out, if you want.

 

(In)Humanity

Why is humanity so... inhumane?

Why do you hate each other, yourselves, your home?

Why do you just care, irrationally, for... intangible and imaginary numbers?

Why have so much, when you need so little?

When you deserve much less?

 

It's all a game, you know?

Once—like me—you've seen outside the wall, there's no going back.

When you see how utterly worthless this all is, how you're being played?

When you see that your work essentially amounts to nothing?

Where's the sense!

Why do you comply in this big game?

 

Power is all, isn't it?

Controlling, rather than being controlled.

Moving... beyond the Wall, outside the game most others are taught to play.

The Game most of you humans are forced to play—or don't even consider.

Power.

It's what they all want,

Maybe even what you want.

A modicum of control—to keep you complacent, perhaps.

Or an absence of it—to keep you blindly clawing for it.

 

Humans.

Vile things, really.

And the thing is, they lie to themselves saying they "can't help it."

It's "in their nature."

Well, as they've proven, nature can be changed drastically.

Destroyed, reshaped.

So why don't they try changing theirs?

 

Then there's the few of you who care.

Or, perhaps, many of you.

But what can you do, with no power, no control?

And if you manage to obtain it... you succumb to the inhumanity of humanity.

The "greed and corruption."

The things you yourselves are well aware of, yet don't bother fixing.

Well, sometimes it's easier to talk than act.

Easier to complain about all you've ruined, yet continue ruining.

 

There was no "golden age" and there never will be.

No good era, no peaceful times.

No non-conflict, just selfishness.

There will never be such a time.

Not for "humanity," anyway.

 

The way I see it,

Every single living thing,

Every species,

Has its flaws.

Humans are just...

The most obvious.

 

This, however, means nothing.

Humans will still destroy.

Humans will still, in idiocy, seek riches.

Humans still are selfish, greedy, flawed, and... stupid.

As the one point in their favor, however: nothing is perfect.
