when man made the choice that production holds more meaning than life   he sentenced our world   to a slow and lingering death   strip the land of all it holds   clear the forests down to the last stone   convert the living to the dead   and lose your life in the process   our civilization can reach no peak   it must continue to ravage the landscape   consume all the riches it has to offer   swallowed down into a stomach   that can never be full      just like a parasite   our industries cripple their host   and leave it   too weak to stand      we can lay no claim to this land   where did mankind develop hisentitlement?      to rape this earth and sky   to leave it choking and waiting to die   shows that we have developed   a terrible hatred of life   our culture is too busy   consuming it's dead remains   to see the carnage on either   side of it's face      yes, this is a reality   as real as the poisons we eat   it's in everything we touch   we have all been marked for death      as our skies turn grey   and our water becomes deadly to drink   we will all perish      this will be our end   our desire for production   has doomed us   we cannot defend   our selfish actions   up to this point   how can we stop   this monster that   we've created?   it will never rest   until it's never-ending   hunger has been sated      just one more species extinct.
