Manic monkeys (revised)

 
"if I had been God"
I would've redesigned the human race
in every way,
would've made us more prone to peace
and less likely
 to level lovely landscapes.

"if I had been God"
I would've shifted many senses
and I would not have secluded this species to suffer.

"if I had been God"
myself
I would've outlawed,
if I had been given the chance
I do believe
I would've ended evolution early,
not allowing us to advance.

The forests are all on fire,
the oceans are overflowing,
the creatures are in caskets
and the beauty we don't behold
the Earth quakes and crumbles
beneath the constant construction,
we claim to care
as we advertise destruction
and "it feels like deja Vu"
the world's still rocking round
but we don't know what to do
while we dream of love
 or an answer from up above..

We're manic monkeys
 making a such a mess,
a hint of madness in our eyes, 
paranoia paralyzing the psyche
 as we drown in
 delusions and lies.. 

"Wake up wake up
 and smell the roses" 
Open your mind
 and see this massive mess, 
we're nothing but pests
especially here in the west, 
nothing but fiends
 just stuck in machines,
nothing but souls
 spinning out of control,
wake up the others we're all lovers.. 

This is a world where they
weed out the weaklings, 
this is where they
 reward the warmongers.
Here's where they're quick to
cling to power and greed
and forget all about those truly in need.. 

Wake up 
Wake up
and smell the burning shitshow. 
This is the realm where relaxation revolts us, 
don't rest don't play 
the tyrants shout as
 they're carried away. 
We must believe and see
there's no restraints
 no constraints 
on our power as a species 
spinning on this sphere in space.. 

Wake up 
Wake up and sense the separation, 
see all the silent shooters
 sniping spirits, 
This is a world which 
we've created.. 
another species almost all out of luck 
mostly cause we didn't give a fuck. 

"Wake up wake up and smell the roses" 
Take a last look at this lost land 
before she's gone along with us.. 
Maybe we don't care to understand.
