An Insignificant Insect
An Insignificant Insect
An insignificant insect
Living on an insignificant planet
Located in an insignificant galaxy
Why does man think he is so important?
He is a parasite tolerated by the universe
To be swept away whenever it desires
Man kills the planet he is on
Pollution and war leaves deep scars
Ruining what was created shortly after the big bang
Wanting to spread to other planets and stars
To rape them and watch them die as the Earth is
Man will be swept away on uninhabitable worlds
Man thinks he will leave an impact
There will be no impact
No monuments to what man has done
No trace that he ever existed
An insect that never mattered
On an insignificant planet in an insignificant galaxy
Man never existed
