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.
