Lust, longing and greed Through frenzy, craze and rage Damage, destruction and depletion The hallmark of emerging culture Nature’s blood thirsty hawks Out in the open, unchecked Consuming all, preserving none Mindless and moronic swarms Voracious, hungry and mad Making earth barren and bare With fires, famines and floods Digging graves of the unborn Perpetuating thirst and hunger Sworn enemies of the planet Mantras, shouts and slogans, Alarms, concerns, pretensions Catchy crowds of activists Yield nothing but display A routine and repetitive affair A pastime for politicians Events of pomp and show What to do, where to go Darkness al around Virtuous and conscientious The enlightened souls Among human creatures Have saved the world in the past Let us pray for their resurgence
