Mercy

Cut the trees and cut your veins For your extinction is entwined These creatures that have been robbed of home are on this conscience of mine. Can my existence be above their creation Is extinction my legacy? Will god forgive my sins? or am I the parasite from above. Death and destruction are part of me Can heaven really want the likes of me? My number will pillage the earth and only god can stop me. But in this testimony the shadows of past will condemn and the time draws near, when I too will become a memory. This life that shared the will of man will thank god for my demise for I will repent, though the universe is blind For I am insignificant I humbly accept the judgement of god for I have destroyed the things of life. My values are the sum of mankind For greed is programmed into me Will the dodo forgive from above? will the creatures that are now silent forgive me. Can arrogance belong to the dawn of man? Does this final supper belong to me? Has God unleashed the devil in Man? For I am mankind And I would not forgive them Should this voice ever fall silent?
