Burnt tar rivers, cobalt skies.
Overpopulation, sea levels rise.
Seven billion and counting, each of them cries.
Few truly live, each one dies.
Corrupt institutions stand like Goliath monuments,
giving with condition and taking without consequence.
Walking a fine line between reality and nonsense,
as the people wield in a submissive state of conscious.
Where, then, is your conscience?
You say you want to help them out, then you want to take their water,
tens of thousands of fully captive slaves, financially made to order.
Families forced to take the orders or flee to our racist borders
where hateful porters throw him in cells of bricks and mortar,
takes him from his wife, takes his hope and takes his daughters.
Where, then, is the human in us all?
Is it lost to profits? Are we doomed to fall?
Is there no brother-and-sisterhood?
Is there no longer any good?
Are profits worth more than the Earth?
