I have a deep hatred for my own kind
We speak of love and peace
Yet we dance with devils
And smile in the faces of demon
It's no wonder why God has forsaken us
For the temple of lord is in the heart of man
But the souls of men lie corrupted
With Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Laziness, Envy,
And a blinding pride
That spreads like a disease
Killing the spirit
That was once as sacred as our deluded Humanity
Blasphemy is all that we know now
And the tragic comedy of our daily lives
Is not so funny any more
Its pathetic and pitiful
We condemn ourselves long ago
Yet now we strive for revolution
But, what is revolution if we can not revolt against
Our own evil ambitions
Vanity is a word I use often to describe the ways of the world
But it would seem I am the one that has become... vain.

another side to life... i think you got it right... but there's always hope
Pride and fear.. the unlikely pair that build a humanity that simply leaves us utterly alone..
Sad but true although like wolfsrosebud says "there's always hope"
Truly written. So true and the killing starts again. Humanity.
Hiya, Very true and nice switchback here which gives the poem more depth and power... With Best Wishes Scott www.scotthastie.com
This whole line of yours took my breath away:

You speak the truth of man and that is the most honest truth I have ever heard.
Excellent! and magnificent.
"And the tragic comedy of our daily lives

I like the twist at the end... very nice
