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. I am insignificant a temporary molecule in time. I humbly accept this judgement of a higher being, for we cannot trust ourselves. My nature is to destroy the things of life, this is the sum of mankind for greed is programmed into me. Will the dodo forgive from above? was its flesh worth the feast? Every day the beauty of creation disappears, will these creatures that are now silent ever forgive. Can arrogance belong to the dawn of man? Does this final supper belong to me? The earth devoid of life, my power is that of progress and reward is a desert without life, my kingdom. Can this universe stop the devil in Man? For I am mankind, heaven is my arrogance and I am the king of life Ruler of all this silence And now it is too late for silence has found me.

Simply awesome, Steven. Too bad that the believers are far less than the unbelievers...man and nature are interwined... only the blind can not see or refuse to see... greed for the superficial things knows no bounds in our world. Excellent!! Annalise
