Earth

Nature takes the atmosphere 
Then turns the lot around. 
I’d like to say he’s a moron 
But really he is a clown. 

Slowly he stands from his knees 
To take on the reserve. 
The witch takes the oracle 
And turns it into Earth. 

She follows with a deep sigh 
Because she knows the fate. 
Humans will ruin what they can of it 
Because they cannot wait. 

First they will find religion 
Then begin to fight over that. 
Politics will take its course 
Like a hungry, angry cat. 

When those two things won’t kill enough 
They will pit one color against another. 
They won’t remember who started it 
This war against our brother.  

Disease will take their bodies 
As they eat this horrible food. 
We’ll make the bad stuff cheaper 
Then they’ll all be screwed. 

An entire planet fighting one another 
Sickly, and dying. 
Other than the rich ones 
They will all be lying. 

But if you really want this thing called Earth 
Then I will certainly make it for you. 
Now that I’ve told you what will happen 
You can never say “I never knew.” 

Humans are unethical 
Just by nature alone. 
Most don’t understand doing nothing 
is saying they condone.
