Tears of Our World

Our World has stood proud and strong for thousands of years. 
Now we work to destroy her, regardless of her tears. 

So careless we were, and continue to be. 
The powers that are, refusing to see. 

The rape and ravage of our world, this daily onslaught. 
Leaving little for our children, this destruction we wrought. 

The ruination of our world by an ungrateful race, 
has left her people with a future of death and disgrace.
