Guardians

GUARDIANS

          God bestowed intelligence to save not destroy

                  We are guardians of our planet
                  Playing the role of God
                  Selecting which species survive
                  Polluting the atmosphere
                  Burning forests and laying waste
                  Speeding ever faster fatal global warming.

                  We factory farm to feed our masses
                  Hunt endangered wildlife to extinction 
                  Breed our own human kind beyond control
                  While insisting on culling other species
                  Man is the only creature on this planet
                  Waging war and killing for pleasure.

                                                Colin Ian Jeffery
