toxic human

mother earth

gracious and of ethereal mind gives gifts fit for the devine

blessed the world with what is called "mankind" man grows selfish 

greedy and spoiled

places mother through hell and turmoil utter chaos and disarray

man hates man much to her dismay 

her beautiful creations not safe and under salvation 

man takes and takes and takes while she struggles to reclaim her place 

man takes advantage of what is given 

while she struggles to clear her vision 

oil blurs her ocean eyes as she struggles and struggles to cry 

smoke and carbon block her tear ducts as man continues to say they feed us 

man is a liar man is not a saint mans claims to do good but all he does is taint 

over and over he'll never change 

man is ignorant and does not see the absolute destruction that they cause

man cannot look in the mirror and admit their flaws 

man will hurt themselves again and again but will not let go of their precious rent 

man takes what is not his and he calls it colonialism

man turns away his own at the door

just because their skin does not match his pristine clean carpeted floors

man shoots each other with creations that shatter 

good people's hearts instead of studying dark matter 

man is not open about how they feel 

so they instead march forward and ruin her fields 

while politicians mope and whine about their rejections

there are those who do not have the luxury of beholding their own reflections

man is uninterested in learning each others ways and they default to using hot pepper sprays 

man preys on each other as if we are not fragile and ogle before the inevitable defile 

man treats each other like garbage stacked up in holes and left to clog 

what mother earth did not create it is not her job

her job is not to kill the masses 

her job is not to catch your missed passes 

her job is to live until our sun dies 

but man takes her ability to cry 

mother earth does not deserve this!

all she did was love you despite your disservice 

there's people in this world wielding an intense amount of sorrow

because they know that sooner or later there will not be a tomorrow

you fight over land and over religion sending air strikes and committing genocide 

and because of this children can no longer play outside 

women are losing their rights as we speak 

to the people in power who think we are freaks 

people aren't free to love as they are 

instead they are betrayed with wrath and scars 

mother earth did not create us to suffer 

making someone suffer is the opposite of a mother 

she's struggling to show you what else she can offer 

as another child loses their father 

longer and longer these wars wage on 

as animals lose their rightful homes

the companions that she gave us to raise

day by day are harder to save

time and time again man will fail

though they claim they're as tough as a nail

over and over they claim they are right 

and over and over they pull too fucking tight

mother screams and asks where she went wrong

all she wanted was to love

and let man believe that they are strong

as they admire all the stars above

but the stars are hidden behind the pollution

and man cannot afford the solution

man fights, helplessly trapped

and off their hand, their being snapped

mankind has grown far from kindness

so, as mother gasps for her final breath

"man-" is what she thinks of before her untimely death
