Tears in my eyes and a punch to the gut.

These days we see ourselves as civilized,

But this I cannot see,

For who are we to say,

Who is to fat and who is to skinny,

 

We run over this land with our big machines,

Crushing the hopes of people below us,

Money as the only goal,

 

Mutated our idea's of freedom are,

Our freedom is to decided who makes all our decisions.

A culture has been engulfed in lies.

 

Who is to say?

When enough people have passed away,

How many people have to die before you will listen to what they say?

To change the unheld laws of today,

 

But who are we,

To try and change our ways,

To take upon ourselves a simple challenge,

And change the errors of our ways.

 

Who is to say we ever will,

The wheel will not turn if no one pushes

Only will we push for greed.

 

Our ways have not changed, they never will.

That has, like has been mentioned before, a very strong message, which was transmitted impeccably through some choice words. Excellent job.

Strong message in here. You address many of the major problems with humans, and then encourage people to change who they are. Excellent!
