Too many tiny minds
telling others what to do
the sighted led by the blind
even tho' they can't do it too
curtailing all creativity
restraining imagination
destroying individuality
those who can don't need advising
those who can't should stop supervising
let me make my own mistakes
it's the only way I'll know what it takes
to get where I need to be
so put the key in the slot
wind me up and watch me go
a robot I am not
Destroying myself I can’t stop,
stop binging on these septic thoughts;
Thoughts that fertilize such numbness,
numbness that’s bent on destroying;
Destroying but I’m still sober,
sober never eases the aches;
Aches that erupt my breaking point,
point of no return destroying.
There's split personality
But you take it to extremes
From one day to the next
You leave everyone perplexed
Never knowing how you'll bee
It its nice or really scary
Your mood swings are getting bad
One minute happy, the next mad
All your friends are begging you
To get help from what you do
You refuse, saying your fine
Being blind to every sign
That you haven't been O.K.
In denial you will stay
Never listening to those
Who have become very close
To this deadly situation
Out of hand, it is creatin'
A monster out of someone nice
Body and mind pay the price
Your addictions growing strong
Soon it wont be very long
Until this pleasure you enjoy
One day will start to employ
A day of wreckage and disaster
Drugs will soon become the master
Sucking you in really far
As you are raising the bar
Destroying your identity
Fading away so completely
Until there is just a shell
Of your former friendly self
Humans destroying human settlements.
This is an integral part of war.
The war of two neighboring governments!
You'll be forgiven for asking what for!
Beautiful buildings are hollow shells.
Tangled rubble lies all around;
There are no parks, streets or malls.
Everything's been razed to the ground!
Delicate women crying in the streets,
Children weaned from education!
Men want to see who the other defeats.
There's a destroying of all construction!
You'll be told this is politics.
Quarrels and issues between peoples.
Some would say semantics.
Pride based intractable squabbles!
An alien scanning planet Earth
Would see an interesting phenomenon:
A species that, when feeling wrath,
Destroys its dwellings with wild abandon!
This life was neither yours
nor ours from birth,
the surviving life is the
reward of nature for such deeds,
yet man, knowingly and unknowingly,
is destroying nature,
destroying himself,
what could be more
unfortunate for man!
Two ears small in size
To hear thunder and otherwise
Very small pair of eyes
To see Seven Seas and Sky
The tongue it’s ears size
Destroying Seven Seas and Sky
We, the human race
are destroying, our only place
by cutting down, our life filters
and becoming, the human killers
We build, with concrete jungles
causing us, to huddle in bubbles
while turning the sky, into a fry
with our smoke, that can only choke
We breed, like a petri-dish
and we kill, so many fish
while filtering poison, into our waterways
and allowing plastics, to enter our bays
We kill animals, to make medicine
as we don’t have, too much discipline
and they say, we must have money
but it is money, taking us, down the dunny
We have science, to help us out
but we have many, who are cloned out
as we have leaders, with their own agenda
spreading fake news, for their propaganda
We have a big problem, that is always heightening
and this has become, everyone’s enlightening
We all must do, so much more recycling
because if we don’t, the result will be terrifying
We humans, are destroying our life source
Mother Nature, that supplies our resources
so we all must become, a very big driving force
to recycle and reuse everything, with a stable taskforce
This must be everyone’s, sustainable life cycle
so that we can produce, a healthy food cycle
and a lifesaving, carbon and nitrogen recycle
which is very vital, for all lives vital survival
Let’s get on our bikes, and do a lot of cycling
and make sure, that this is our main course
so that all life, can keep on riding
to make sure, we don’t lose our life source
Why is human life
ruled by money
when it is money
that is destroying all life
This is our place, that we are destroying
so why are we floundering
because it won’t be long, before we are gone
The human race, has to come together
and work with each other
to be the power of one, to cure what we have done
Our planet
is been dug up for profit
but it is profit
that is destroying our planet
All humans have a need, to feel good and be happy
but humans need of greed, is destroying earths granite
Mother Nature has a need, to feel good and be happy
but it’s turning to weed, and feels very unhappy
Its death is short, with a dying nature
no one seems to give a dam, about destroying our planet
Where is the caring attitude, to get rid of this evil virus
We need to find an anti-dote, to cure Mother Nature’s life
Living in the country
I finally understand,
The frustration of the farmer
and, the importance of our land.
With the senseless self destruction
of the air, our seas and land,
We destroy the strong traditions
passed down through father's hand.
And, traditions build foundations
that foreclosures strip away,
Polluting with our progress
more land with each new day.
Combining self destruction
with the banker's auctioneer,
We sacrafice the future
for the children we hold dear.
If we'd let the past be guidance
maybe then we'd understand,
And, learn from our forefathers
respect for life and land.

Man must realize that can't keep destroying God's creation and still escape God's wrath*

*Let’s take a moment to reflect on a sad truth. Our planet and almost all animals and plants living on it are struggling with man-made pollution.
Animal Populations Have Declined By 60 Percent Since 1970 ...

Animal species around the world have seen their populations decline by an average of 60 percent between 1970-2014, according to a report published Tuesday by the World Wide Fund for Nature.
N-ature has control,
A-s humans have influence,
Q-uesting for power.
