Man

Man! Dont be a fool Because everything in nature has a rule Man! You have to think not only for yourself alone But for the unborn children even after we are gone Please think man! Where is thy conscience What you cannot take You are telling me that nonsense. Man! Remember your roots because we were once regarded animals before we started wearing boots And behold it was paradise We lay in naked innocence And we were free So many trees And a clear blue sky There was no need to worry to the day that we die Free to chose anything we like There was no need for cowries or gold coins Because we owned not We eat wild fruits and drank wild honey In the night we hunt for boars And we do so as a team we dined as a family But in the present day that is a dream There were no cities No government Because we needed no laws We were guided by the laws of God Life is vanity Man withers away like greens leaves during autumn Man withers away Never to be seen again By his friends and loved ones like a phantom in night Disappearing on first sight Man! Remember all that land and gold our ancestors stole Dreams of building empires as our goal. For the sake of economic prosperity We wreaked the earth We enslaved our fellow man Do you forget But the more we had The more we lacked Those savages are asking for their land back Man! You have to think We must be careful not to throw our future in a sink Man! Time is going The earth is dying But we are lying She dying slowly And soon there will be no animals No plants On earth Not even insects Just Man And his machines And the earth will no longer be how it is today Man is doomed We all have to pay Technology can not bring back the earth Just let nature take it cause Or be prepare for the worse Man! Children are dying Because of wars Poverty And this frightening Man! Where is thy conscience Mr Overlord! Demigod! Your evil concept Where the love Is it up in space Why cant we love Why cant we unite With every race Rather I see men boast of greed While women sell their bodies to feed It so sad My heart will bleed To see that poor fellow in great need
