The Undoing of a Human


I would like to see what is in your hearts.

You humans refuse to see and believe.

Why are you all tearing this world apart?

You don't care, but in the end you will grieve.

You do not pay attention to the world.

You miss the experience before you.

You will destroy what you really adore.

All this beauty and you don't have a clue.

You get frightened by the end of the world.

You want a diamond, destroy a mountain.

They tell you to stop you don't hear a word.

You kill a garden to build a fountain.

In the end you will cry and you will weep,

because now the world is not yours to keep.
