They say it’s human error
This rail tragedy in Greece
My instinct was to look away
It just disturbs the peace
The horror of disaster
Mangled carnage there
Head on crash too terrible
Weeping in the air
And Linda Kasabian has died
Another tragedy
The Manson family madness
The Helter Skelter spree
Stories of neglected children
Finding God in dope
Causing untold mayhem
Abandon ye all hope
Oh yes it’s human error
The ways that we go wrong
The ways we do not care at all
Just singing our own song
I have come to call the lost he says
Sinners to repentance
Let care be all your striving now
Take care – the truest sentence

+ The Manson family saga reveals stories of child neglect that led to crime and drugs and finally murder. We must care for one another. It is the basic duty we have in life.
