While angels cry and sing a sad lullaby
You see the humans sniff and dry
Those uncaring eyes that pretend to shed tears
As a life, spanning a few short years,
Is remembered in passing before being forgotten for the rest of time,
Because none will remember one out of millions without reason or rhyme
And idiodicy is shown in the face of impending disaster,
When garbage is dumped in parks, heaps growing faster and faster
Why garbage? Why not recycle? Because the humans cannot see
That the filth and darkness will lead to catastrophe, and then they will be
Wondering and crying and helpless, killing themselves for release
But they will feel worse when they cannot find the will to claim pain's cease
Not the type to let blood run bloody tracks down their skin
They will force courage up from within
Only to be slaughtered like cattle or sheep
Finding justice as they sleep
They will be killed as mercilessly as they did others
For why would there be a reason to kill one's brothers?
It does not make sense
These homo sapiens are strange, illogical, and grotesque
See what a mockery they make of their beginnings?
At first they had hope, but they gambled away their winnings
They developed greed and jealousy when Pandora opened that box
And now kill as cunningly as a fox;
But they do it not for food or from instinct, these 'intelligent' creatures,
No, sins form the motives, sins form their features
Whether or not it's religion or land or personal belief that they kill over
It doesn't help that they can often be found not sober
Drunk on glory and fame, intoxicated with lust and desires inhumane
And wasting away on technology and drugs, to escape emotional pain
They lie in their beds, condemning eachother and thinking they are grand
But when the end of the world as they know it comes, it'll give them a hand;
A hand to slap themselves across the face and bring them back to reality
When they realize the road they were on was a futile fatality
It will be too late to turn back and too soon to rebuild
And they'll die, water running red blood, their destiny of death fulfulled.

Nice writing!
Once suggestion.
At the last sentence, it's death fulfilled not fulfulled.
Maybe there is a word called fulfulled but I think fulfilled is better smile
