Desolation

DESOLATION
have we been blinded
eyes closed 
shuttered by that 
which they 
want us to believe
waking up without 
worry or care 
living in comfort zones
within our minds
not facing the reality
that it is us
yes us 
killing off the only
living thing we have
life as it was 
is no more 
the rich get richer 
capitalist gain 
profits through the roof
but what do we care 
when forests 
home to many a great 
species of nature 
animal or plant 
tree or rainforest 
savagely cut down 
to make timber when 
concrete and brick 
are readily available
when wildlife is lost
because of mans urge
to kill and destroy 
well soon we wont have 
to worry no more 
because life 
will no longer be 
money wont be 
nessessary because
there wont be shit to buy
and people 
well we are also 
on the endangered 
species list for it is
our own doing
allowing these things
to happen 
allowing poachers to reap
harvests of living animals
taking away their freedoms 
but yet 
those same freedoms are
taken from us 
on a daily basis 
allowing our governments 
to do as they please 
use us controll us 
smart phone us yes 
that smart phone is a gateway
where do you not see 
its obsession of people
texting texting texting 
even the children 
young as 7 years old
is this education today
this is medial controll 
and you are allowing 
it to happen as you are 
allowing this mother to 
perish
