Blind Competitors, We Be
All that is seen, we question
Wishing to improve, make something greater
Blind to consequence
Though it be we, not the grass
That needs improvement
Nature's beauty, she wears
Though steal, we choose to
For limit us, the skies cannot
Superior by birth, we believe
When in truth, frauds we be
Camouflaging, our inferiority
Punishment, our crimes are
For, trees we cut
But with it, ourselves we deprive of life
Still, undoubtedly intelligent we be
Though intellect, is a waste
When its use is unknown, to its bearer
Our acts be not, without motive
For competitors, we be
Seeking to find he, who sticks his greed
Deepest into the her heart
Though worry, we need not
For her gifts we have forged
So to, can we, another Earth...
