CITIES ARE MONUMENTS

Cities are monuments

of our materialistic greed

their industrial towers penetrate the skies

vomiting sickness into the atmosphere

ejaculating black smoke

plumes of pollution

forming tainted clouds

mechanical thunder roaring impurity

raining filth down on our rooftops

like a hailstorm of acid bullets

We're driving chariots of death through the streets

metal contraptions on squealing wheels

defecating floods of oil

splattering the roads we walk

and the carbon dioxide lingers

rising from the burning asphalt

clawing its way into every breath of air

painting our insides black

Every inch of territory

is being molested

by an inferno of fossil fuels

waste burning power plants

deserts of spoiled garbage

rivers of sludge

supplying electricity

for brainless organisms

ignorant of all the blood on their hands

Step outside

inhale the toxic fumes

of a decaying planet

ravaged by human evolution

fanned by corporate greed

contaminating the oxygen supply

corroding our lungs

cancer delivered with surgical precision

we're dying faster

while reaching ever higher

killing ourselves with good intentions

in the name of evolution

We created this mess

and we're the only ones

who can hope to clean it up
