Self Destruction
So man still thinks he rules the earth
but he is brainwashed from his birth,
then sent out in this world of strain
taught not to suffer but cause pain,
finds that religion is so odd
he worships money, but prays to God,
man blows up houses, burns down trees
then blames the weather on the seas,
and now that man has gone too far
he'll travel to some distant star,
to see if there is other life
outside this world of pain and strife,
and if some life form should appear
would man destroy it, as he did here.
