Our Trusting Landlord

This earth Oh what a curious thing to perceive Existing within its home, the Universe A unique, rare and aqueous marble With a lifespan well surpassing our own We call it our home, but it is only for rent Things will begin to change Humanity will try resist We are in a system that has long been set in motion A plan that we cannot stop Green What a faction of false hope A color stained in negativity Greed, Money, Power, Politics Oh what a sly plan A thorn stabbed in the lions paw Our advantage taken against an orb in suffering This trusting earth Telling a secret Our society Screaming it to the world
