Paths of Glory
(with Kirk Douglas)

Watching an old movie
Called, the “Paths of Glory”
They woke up this wounded guy
For, the firing squad, in this story.

I’ll bet it really happened
By, someone who likes to kill
I guess that’s human nature
And will always be, until

We quit thinking we are better
Than all else, plus, fellow man
You can’t tell me there’s a god
Who would have put that in his plan!

But, people still believe in it
They say, we are the best
Re-made here in his image
Well, that doesn’t pass my test!

People should try to be kind
And, try their best to be good,
Just think, what the World would be
If only, everybody would.

But, we let greed and jealousy
Lead us blindly, down this path
The human being, superior?
That, makes me want to laugh.

So, the joke is on all of us
Because, we won’t look, and see
The worst threat, to life on Earth
Is, our, humanity!
