Greater Consciousness

Brewing a temperamental storm in its hurt Hot and heavy for our once marvellous heart Death’s shadow creeps in the once blue lagoon Attempting to flush us down the dark side of the moon Our humanity seeks definition in it's arrested development 'cause it’s a clear violation to exist without inducement Seven billion signatories signed a petition to turn a blind eye As a handful of dignitaries sighed indifference whilst so many continueed to die To have lived in Africa and never having seen a wild animal Our children will grow up deprived of mother nature's endearment - this is criminal! To never have climbed and fallen out of a tree is to never have known true freedom And to continue ignoring the ‘Earth Song’ is to relinquish our own kingdom So as we stand erect at the top of the food chain Proud of our accomplishments and toast ostentatiously to a flawed campaign We slowly suffocate on the fumes of our own parasitic self-indulgence 'cause the now forgotten parable – of the blue marble – doesn’t pivot around our existence 08-13-2015 Contest: Mystic Rose's NEW FRONTIERS OR GREATER CONSCIOUSNESS
