Ill nevermore, the dead or dying wastelands,
Unsure because of the constant winds.

All too different, all too alike the religions.
All too pointless, all too meaningful the tensions.

The civil ferocity of the self-proclaimed diplomacy,
Beats to a pulp, the face of democracy.

Ill nevermore, the undead carcass of logic crawling back to the folded arms of reason,
To each our own, the sugar coated denial of each and every season.

God revive this, that, these morals once found relevant,
To a history now seen a fairytale, ever halting development.

They seek to deeply reroute the roots of history, shooting point blank, the very sources of hope.
Where behind the scenes, do corruption and idiocy elope.

The cattle, take little notice, without a word.
That wolves have taken the form of shepherds

Philosophy hangs from a rope, carved from hair and thread.
Ill nevermore, we the walking undead.
Why are so many people so seemingly apathetic or ignorant to our situation as a species?! We're digging our own graves, and survival of the fittest has simply turned into endless throat cutting and back stabbing in order to fill those graves...

This presents a scary view of where the human race is going at the moment. Nice word choice re-enforces the message.
Also, I think the reason people are "apathetic" to humanity's situation is because they're fine where they are. Some people need very little to be happy, so they may come off as apathetic, they might just be satisfied with where they are.
As for throatcutting and such, acts of general evil are usually done by people who aren't happy with what they have, and want to regain control (of themselves or others).
Nice piece.
