I live in a constant irony
Where the fallacies in history
The harshness of the present
And the bliss of ignorance and neglect
Turn into an unfathomable revolution—
A labyrinth without exits
Or a vortex of a nightmare replaying without warning
Though we had the choice to care

With eyes brimming of denial and acceptance
I saw this earth of ours that held lives close to its chest
And the unthinkable that was done to it
Power was abused
Opportunities, wasted
This dominion unleashed its wrath
Heavens closed
Darkness became an escort
And my blood ran cold
The ones we serve up above
Were blinded by the verdicts to uplift the system
That rather annihilated breaths

Though havoc carries on
Men witness only the glow of success
And not the fruits of their immorality and exploitation
I struggle to put myself to sleep
Knowing there is a gaping hole in the ozone
Forests lose their color
Technological advances take over
Wildlife deteriorates
Land and water suffer
Energy runs out
Money slithers to the drain
Slowly but surely
We were lured to believe that all will be well
