Out Of Touch

In the beginning

Naked we were

In the ways of the world

Not just at birth

*

Dependent on senses

Out of touch with nature

Much better than beast

Unless there’s a wager

*

Lust for money

And many fine things

Destroying the earth

At any means

*

Shouldn’t there be a limit

How much more does man need

One day to destroy the earth

Over a planted seed of greed

*

Greed was not born within

It evolved over time

It will be the link

Appearing in crime

*

Man was so smart

The earth he killed

And all that lives

Forever stilled

*

Veins in the earth

Inner connecting

The roots of our being

Man was neglecting

*

Before man’s time

Carefully engineered

An underground transit

Kept us rooted here

*

Dependent on each other

All life connected

Bred out of man

Evolved and rejected
