Increments

A thousand myriad voices           scattered on the wind

decry the human suffering questions will it end

tents in desert dustbowls        waiting upon the rain

lives molded in emptiness     how long can they sustain

 

Pandemic the diseases          a viral biology

man himself constructed          in tubes technology

outpouring chemicals     no plant life can escape

pillaging our resources         our planets incumbent rape

 

The corporations interest    aim profits in their greed

a force it must maintain             your pocket book exceed

desires  that are mercenary    have plans to you expunge

trash outstrips the landfills     the poor in countries plunge

 

The maintenance of property     with empty homes in rot

homeless children hungry   sleep in a parking lot

media insinuates                     you need be owning more

earning of the dollar          the dream you're living for

 

I have seen starvation          exists a different kind

a famine of affection     to others needs be blind

hedonistic pleasures          force decisions to ignore

repercussions down the road     contaminates hardcore

 

The disappearing species          on land and in the sea

ones  we've not discovered   may know them never be

chem. caused deformities               in humans also plants

cancer causing agents    saturating our advance

 

Facilities  explosions            toxic substances are spread

how much can nature take                 before our planets dead

we all have mankind's mind     we know where this will end

to destruct this machine                on man we can't depend

 

Aspartame and PCB's     nitrites not a few

pollution of the food supply        detriments not new

the really scary thing           as this accumulates

greater will its impact be       if prevention waits

 

As mans wars continue        a plan for our demise

we barely see the surface        that our governments disguise

there's a conspiracy      our morality to drown

if you hold to virtue                  their aim to take you down

 

In streaming videos          what's immoral implant

willingly absorb them            its profession is extant

the onslaught overwhelming          the pressure to conform

if you don't run with them        you aren't considered norm

 

The barrage of information           to absorb your time

new gaming now is free        to keep your mind online

even I use this tool         to reach inside your thought

every truth you hear            is seeking to be caught

 

here little there little           every piece in place

to clean up our planet     must destructive thought replace

errors inclination       mans  programming like a map

where is the intervention        to spring us from this trap
