Watching the world break down

Present, but unseen

No one can hear my screams

Stop it, stop this madness!

It will only bring death and sadness!

I thought violence was okay once, but it's not

Violence only brings you an unhappy ending, not the glory you sought

Don't step on people to get what you won't, it won't end well

Selfishness and violence doesn't reap benefits, it dooms others and yourself

This life shouldn't be everyone for themselves, we should work together

We should all be united, no matter the time and weather

Hatred and discrimination runs loose in this world

Everything is so messed up, it makes me want to hurl

Don't follow the path I followed, I was such a cruel mortal

I feasted on my luck, while others only got morsels

I destroyed lives and did whatever it took to get on top

When it comes to terrible things, I did a lot

I ended up here after my death, watching the living

I realized my mistakes, how truly horrid I was, as I watched others be broken by people like me, their tears brimming

I spend all my time now demanding this madness be stopped

I keep trying to change others, even though I know the battle is already lost

For they can't hear me, they can't see me, what a cruel punishment is

Watching the world break down, helpless, as my words are ignored, as well as my wishes
