We're fabricating mass-murder
against every facet of life
that exists on Mother Earth
one technological revolution at a time
and we're taking her down with us
Disposable plastic rips through her winds
a reaper gale
getting tangled in branches
snatching birds out of the sky
poisoning the water we drink
sinking into the depths of the ocean
suffocating millions of lives
right beneath our feet
like the sails of a plague ship
cruising through a sea of mire
imprinting chemical trails in the ecosystem
We're harvesting her organs
planting pesticides in her soil
growing noose-shaped crops
stuffing livestock with regurgitated bile
recycled products of penance
shoved down our throats
festering in our guts
rotting the flesh from our bones
We're burning her forests to the ground
turning trees into dollar bills
drilling into the crust of her skeleton
digging up natural resources from her corpse
hoarding all her priceless gifts
stolen from the weak and the poor
The animal kingdom is paying the price
for the haze of green that blinds us
those tragic children of nature
are robbed of their homes
and nations crumble into the dirt
as we laugh our way to the bank
committing genocide to put food on the table
Mother Earth
has become Mother Filth
a memento of human materialism
a decomposing monument of our legacy
the smoldering stench of her carcass
is evidence of our guilt
proof of all our crimes against her
centuries spent driving ourselves to extinction
desecrating the land and all her children
dragging them all down
into the burial of waste we've made
just like everything else
we've ever touched
