Desolation
DESOLATION
have we been blinded
eyes closed
shuttered by that
which they
want us to believe
waking up without
worry or care
living in comfort zones
within our minds
not facing the reality
that it is us
yes us
killing off the only
living thing we have
life as it was
is no more
the rich get richer
capitalist gain
profits through the roof
but what do we care
when forests
home to many a great
species of nature
animal or plant
tree or rainforest
savagely cut down
to make timber when
concrete and brick
are readily available
when wildlife is lost
because of mans urge
to kill and destroy
well soon we wont have
to worry no more
because life
will no longer be
money wont be
nessessary because
there wont be **** to buy
and people
well we are also
on the endangered
species list for it is
our own doing
allowing these things
to happen
allowing poachers to reap
harvests of living animals
taking away their freedoms
but yet
those same freedoms are
taken from us
on a daily basis
allowing our governments
to do as they please
use us controll us
smart phone us yes
that smart phone is a gateway
where do you not see
its obsession of people
texting texting texting
even the children
young as 7 years old
is this education today
this is medial controll
and you are allowing
it to happen as you are
allowing this mother to
perish
