Zombie apocalypse or alien invasion

Zombie apocalypse or alien invasion,
Might be the only cure for violence and racism,
Are death and annihilation,
The only things that'll stop us from hatin'?
Judging, abusing, robbing,
killing, stealing, raping?
Why do we repeat this vicious cycle time and again, instigating?
Mental, chemical, and environmental issues and influence,
Some maintain and use these conditions as excuses,
Others are guilty of information and power misuses,
To spin, upend, abuse and confuse us,
Like you, I want the best for my kid,
But I seldom take full responsibility for the wrong that I did,
Beyond conversations and accusations, action is what we need,
What's the point of turning over a new leaf, if we don't first plant a seed?
