Human Arrogance
How arrogant we humans are
Given a beautiful blue green planet
We rape and destroy it with every generation
Stealing minerals from the planet’s shell
Pouring deadly toxins into every drop of water
Turning the blue skies grey with waste
Overburdening the topsoil until it become wasteland
They kill animals for sport
They kill humans in the quest for land or oil
Human arrogantly desire to save the planet
The planet does not need saving
It will never, ever need saving
Life is, and has been, an minor annoyance to the world
Earth will shake off the parasites the way a dog scratches fleas
In the end the planet may face life as a dead, lifeless ball
Humans, animals, the blue skies all gone
Yet, the planet survives without us
Severed connection to bring upon annihilation.
Death save me from this pandemonium, bring amongst me a fallen angel,
Relieve the overburdening blow that desecrated divinity,
Thought to be the cure,
Caressing conformity to strought ideals,
A lapse in love maybe, but I’m for certain in dire need of my vice, my drug to
complete my being
Death save me from this pandemonium, bring amongst me a fallen angel.
Relieve the overburdening blow that desecrated divinity,
Pleading perfection to a jury of cynics,
The never-ending bliss, beside the overtaking pain.
Nearing angelic yet dwelling within hate,
Complexity lies within yourself, unleash its mind-blowing beauty
In the end misconceptions lead with growing paranoia shall rupture to the demise
Forever searching for a gateway back into my utopia, the land of divine creation
