Once Again Man Fails

When the world was created, much was entrusted to man
Yet, throughout the centuries and from every land
Not nearly enough good men have stood to meet this challenge 
Once again we have failed and nature will have its revenge

The devastation happening today is nothing new
A continual lack of reverence shown by what we do
Your goals all obvious, you will never hide
As God sees all of them as the time abides

Whether you believe it or not, the time is coming, soon
When all our injustices will go past the moon 
The what, when, how and why, don’t matter
Your pretense at caring does not flatter
