Just A Moment in World History

Thick smoke now forms new clouds below
Where we used to see green and clean rivers flow  
  
Bird song has quieted, trees don't sound the breeze        
Life is no longer wild, too filed up to be free        
Ignorance spreads faster than any viable seed        
And love is contingent to stringent rules of greed        
       
Gone are the days of living off of the terrain        
Ecosystems no longer know when it is time to rain        
If water or acid falls, which city will burn silent        
Or if fields will grow to feed those who've grown violent        
       
Screams replace what used to be chaotic harmony        
These demons never got along with other beings in history        
It's arrogant that they think all of life will end with them        
They know nothing of nature and her will to build again        
       
Like the rocks upon minerals built upon their arrogant kin        
They will add to the terrain so the next evolution can begin        
Even the universe knows it's days are fed to black abyss        
Only sentient beings cry out when they fade into mist        
       
Turning flow into a dam that blocks the energy until it rams        
It's wrath ungodly, unrestrained, flowing endlessly accross the lands        
Making them unlivable, only viable to ionized radiation        
Man made, enzymatic, cataclysmic, vile devastation        
       
Within my prison, I watch as time clicks past these self made dietys        
To watch their faces pale in consternation when they start bleeding
