Man Destroyed

MAN DESTROYED

See how green a leaf can grow as it tries so hard to be
And all the other seeds we sow will only die you see

See how tall your son has got from boy to adult man
Then he dies the body rots understand that if you can

See our world we’ve let it die from beauty to despair 
No more fluffy clouds on high just thick polluted air 

See yourself you are to blame, you tired too hard to rule
To our world you put a flame and used it as your fuel
