Human Arrogance

Human Arrogance How arrogant we humans are Given a beautiful blue green planet We rape and destroy it with every generation Stealing minerals from the planet’s shell Pouring deadly toxins into every drop of water Turning the blue skies grey with waste Overburdening the topsoil until it become wasteland They kill animals for sport They kill humans in the quest for land or oil Human arrogantly desire to save the planet The planet does not need saving It will never, ever need saving Life is, and has been, an minor annoyance to the world Earth will shake off the parasites the way a dog scratches fleas In the end the planet may face life as a dead, lifeless ball Humans, animals, the blue skies all gone Yet, the planet survives without us
