Arrogance Unleashed
As the world’s nations fall when all were once strong
Like proud golden lions roaring unsure in the darkness
While gazelles and antelopes graze watchful in the night
Their money and power tremble challenging their might
All this labor, Russia, China, Brazil or the United States
Creating electrical, technical, chemical, military power
While the humanity around us stands summoned to the fight
Nearby the mountains, oceans and seas dare life as a right
The predators plan and scheme while others try to create
Works of kindness and goodness and sharing
Nature joins with coldness attacking either side uncaring
While at our arrogance the hyenas laugh in the moonlight
As the earth undoes our schemes with a deadly blight
