this insane world
is so often cold and cruel
it’s quite ugly and mean
with enslaved people used as tools
just cogs in the machine
our fatal routines depict our dire straits
we kill our home
we kill our mother
we kill our Everything
all for profit
all for greed
we slaughter our forests
so we can make the paper to buy it back
while fat men with clogged arteries
hunt drugged tusks
all for an undeserved ego boost
they claim they are predators
part of me agrees
"Money makes the world go 'round!"
but only if we're spinning towards hell
