Thirst

A restless wanderer callous scavenger The roots of decline you spread with each stride Mindless conquerer of soil and nature The seeds that you stray are the sprouts of decay Usurper of worlds to dominate and control Detached yourself from your natural soul Your coveting claws Rooting boundless and deep Burrowing grasping all in its reach To quench your thirst your rapacity To please your unfathomable greed With uncontrolled cancerous growth You proliferate a healthy world Towering monoliths cutting the skies The wilderness tamed reorganized The sapience numbed in circles you tread The cerebrum cut off rotten and dead Your coveting claws Rooting boundless and deep Burrowing grasping all in its reach To quench your thirst your rapacity To please your unfathomable greed To quench your thirst Your rapacity To satiate your greed Deaf we became To the whispering winds And the roaring seas Blind we became To the blooming fields And the beauty of such Numb we became To the breath of the earth And all living beings Ruthless we consumed Our planets guts Bleeding from within We sealed our tomb shut You selfrightious longing for power Gluttony over all means
