Why must we live
In this dark world of waste
Wading through rubbish
in streets of distaste
Needles and plastic
Stuck fast to old gum
Discarded by parasites
Caring for none
*
Why must we murder
our birds, pigs and sheep
Then leave the meat rotting
unable to eat
We should be disgusted
Ashamed of our minds
Assassins of nature
Not one of us kind
*
Our dark world of waste
getting close to 'The End'
Mother nature forsaken
For gluttonous ends
But now we build rockets
to reach cleaner lands
We will ruin those too
'til our universe ends
