Us

Our vague and hazy consciousness
Of all things left without caress
Starts seeping scarce out of our intelligence.
We deny knowledge of any our cold-blooded feats
And leave our principles behind on the receipts
With our absent minds.
Our ideology is liable
Yet our earth won’t be viable
When our momentum pushes it over.
We keep buying more “prized possessions”
When the earth tells us to halt the transgressions
Yet we yearn Hansel & Gretel’s path.
Wage earner, green burner
Plastic buyer, sanctuary fryer
Cigarette dropper, flora stopper
Offset flyer, don’t be a liar.
Our genetic weakness is addiction,
Abusing our tenantship, without conviction.
We are the wound of eternity.
