Greater Consciousness
Brewing a temperamental storm in its hurt
Hot and heavy for our once marvellous heart
Death’s shadow creeps in the once blue lagoon
Attempting to flush us down the dark side of the moon
Our humanity seeks definition in it's arrested development
'cause it’s a clear violation to exist without inducement
Seven billion signatories signed a petition to turn a blind eye
As a handful of dignitaries sighed indifference whilst so many continueed to die
To have lived in Africa and never having seen a wild animal
Our children will grow up deprived of mother nature's endearment - this is criminal!
To never have climbed and fallen out of a tree is to never have known true freedom
And to continue ignoring the ‘Earth Song’ is to relinquish our own kingdom
So as we stand erect at the top of the food chain
Proud of our accomplishments and toast ostentatiously to a flawed campaign
We slowly suffocate on the fumes of our own parasitic self-indulgence
'cause the now forgotten parable – of the blue marble – doesn’t pivot around our existence
