The World We Killed
The world we live in-live died not knowing what killed it
They asked, What happened? But we thought we freed it?
Look at our hands they are bleeding, proving we did it
Over and over we read the signs, But did we heed it?
With our works we were banished
With our hands crucified it
Our "culture and religion" we abandoned when greed appeared
We tried our best to erase the footprints of history
But continually and repeatedly the un-biodegradable fossils proved it
What we thought we hid, Isn't this it?
With greed overtaking our consciousness, we were deceived, Weren't we?
Now were afraid-fidgeting saying, How did I do this? Did I do this? I didn't mean it?
Even at the scene we still denied it
Saying, "No it wasn't me"
Then who did it?
We start pointing accusing fingers instead of admitting
Pride, is it? Arrogance, could it be? Fear, maybe?
Now we are facing our consequences reaping the seed we sowed.
