This World We Have Created
This world we have created-
neatly sown earth ripe for the planting.
This world had been perfect-
silent creeks and boisterous waterfalls.
This land that was once Mother Nature's-
destroyed for some superfluous coffee shop
where liars and womanizers lay in wait.
These words from our mouths-
are a right given to us by "Law;"
are they not going to be spoken without such written privilege?
False worshippers-
i speak not of a religion, but of the followers.
hoping living in the shadow of their God is a ticket to life after death.
This world we have created-
it saddens me.
These lives we now lead-
frivolous and jocund.
Greed-
it runs our lives now.
Monetary value is the way the world earns its keep.
A higher being or a mere fraction off a fraction of a chance has given us this Earth.
Someone gave us a mold, and we said "To Hell with it!"
They won't even own up to the actions they've taken.
Neither will I.
A white sheep in a herd of white sheep.
Who am I to call out a mistake?
This world we have created-
it saddens me so;
but if one should ask if i've taken affirmative action,
the answer shall be "No."
