Inhumane
Inhumane it said
Six million dead
Gassed,slaughtered
Degraded
Inhumane we dare
At Jeffrey Dahmer
Kidnapper, killer, evil embalmer
Inhumane it read
Black man is dead
Dragged by the feet
Decapitated
Inhumane we say
A young man who's gay
Found bound,beaten
Left dead in the hay
Inhumane we cry
As so many die
In burning buildings
From terror in the sky
Inhumane
I hear say
But only humans
Act this way.
