Ballad of Blunder
Man rules the earth, but watch his ways,
For they are quite insane.
The greed that’s rooted in his core
Drives him always to gain.
He just can’t accept give-and-take
For he has one-track brain.
He blunder forth and not realise
He's speeding to his own demise.
He thinks he’ll keep one step ahead,
As disease spreads worldwide.
He's confident he’ll always win,
And life is one free ride.
He's in a race and very soon,
He'll hit the Great Divide.
He blunder forth and not realise
He's speeding to his own demise.
Before too late, perhaps he should
Look closely at his game,
To see where his ways taking him
And accept he's to blame
But still his greed grows more and more
And yet he feel no shame.
He blunder forth and not realise
He's speeding to his own demise.
