Human Greed

We, the human race
are destroying, our only place
by cutting down, our life filters
and becoming, the human killers

We build, with concrete jungles
causing us, to huddle in bubbles
while turning the sky, into a fry
with our smoke, that can only choke

We breed, like a petri-dish
and we kill, so many fish
while filtering poison, into our waterways
and allowing plastics, to enter our bays

We kill animals, to make medicine
as we don’t have, too much discipline
 and they say, we must have money
but it is money, taking us, down the dunny

We have science, to help us out
but we have many, who are cloned out
as we have leaders, with their own agenda
spreading fake news, for their propaganda
