Our land was ravished because of human consumption
We're quite selfish beings
We'll ruin this earth, inevitably
But that was the plan all along
Because evolution is cyclical
360 degree centuries
Pulling us around and around
And around, then stopping
Only for a glimmer of revolution
Maybe 10 years of change, at most
Hope. Idealism.
Then we start the self-destructing cycle
Again
Death, destruction, dubious actions
Obliging the responsibility of rebirth, reconstruction
And reprise for those that follow
As we ascend from the earth
Looking down as the disappointed ancestors we will be.
Damn, we suck.
