Are You Safe Now?

We’ve been talking a bit

About saving the world.

It’s important to discuss.

But the truth is, the one thing that  

The world needs saving from is us.

 

We are the blight, we are the blemish,

The pimple that should be popped.

The villain, the scoundrel, the reprobate,

The virus that needs to be stopped.

 

Sucking the sustenance out of the soils

That took billions of years to create.

Treating our fellows with horrid disdain,

Spreading venomous vengeance and hate.

 

This is not the way it is meant to be

In this wonderous paradise.

There is enough of this marvelous pie

So that everyone can have a generous slice.

 

So, go forth, my kinsmen,

Seek fortune, seek fame,

Seek all that this world has to give.

But always be wise and always

Leave food on the table

So others may live.
