Irony

Thu, 10/20/2016 - 13:45 -- IvanHC

we are the monsters that comsune the sky 

with pillars of black smog

as we burn the forests to the ground

and leaving the earth covered with dust and smoke

as we destroy that which we once were proud to call our homes

as those that are around us leave us behind 

and step forward towrad a new era of technology

once we used to work togther as a community

now we are self-absorbed  

careing for no one elses happiness but our own

yet when god shows his disappointment towards us

as we kill those we once called our brothers and sisters

as he unleashes his godly wrath upon us

we have the audacity to ask him what 

monstosities we have done to desireve such wrath

and beg him to show us the mercy on he can bestow

we are the ones that devour the earth and everything in it

in our greed for  

the bigger house

the bigger car

the bigger wallet

we know no bounds for what we will exploit

in order to satisfy our lust
