What Should I Do With You
I, like humans, was given the task to create.
But what did you do? You berated, plundered and infuriated
me.
You dug, chapped, and pillage
Nothing is left of my foliage
My trees, land and sea,
Nothing is left clean, as was given thee.
What should I do with you?
Multiply and become many
But you rather make penny
And don’t forget to take care of all the creatures.
But you rather rape the land of its treasures
Vegetation from the land you should be fed
But only few did
Have dominion over the animals, not man
Yet you went and displaced the indigenous from their lands
What must I do with you?
You indoctrinated falseness
Colonised, and made a mess
Plotting to kill and control the global populous
Creating more chaos
Now you’re sitting and acting pious
What am I going to do with you?
More and more are getting poorer
Disease and pandemic is ravaging them faster
And many are thinking “to die is better”
Yet there is enough for everyone
But the greed of the one percent
Owned most of the land
Should I stretch out my hand and eradicate everyone?
What do you think I should do?
Hurry! There is not enough time
If you come together and work what is fine
Reversing the evil of your forefathers
Reaping the benefit of something greater
Right the wrong, make it better
Will give you the sight of a brighter future
Together as one you all should go.
That is what y’all should do
