Man Is Master

Over nature, we claim to be master To have control of all, is our intent But this is now leading to disaster Our duty-to-care, shows we play jester In self-cherishing much of our time spent Over nature, we claim to be master Our populations growing ever faster On expansion, we simply won't relent But this is now leading to disaster Our pollutiing waste is left to fester For we will never payout to prevent Over nature, we claim to be master Our pesticides are to control nature We will not share our food is the intent But this is now leading to disaster Our proposed targets seem to get nowhere For we have not the will to prevent Over nature, we claim to be master But this is now leading to disaster
