Observing Things

Did humans through Caine and Abel introduce ourselves to death
Will we begin burning skeletons when there's no rain forest left
We're cutting down bodies at the same rate as trees
Wars leaving us on the battlefields like dead fucking leaves

Someone dreamt to build industry all along waterways, a poisonous dream
This dream was a nightmare declaring death to everything down stream
Logging again adding to the destruction, poisoning rivers and creeks
The eroding land left behind is still reaching it's peak

Topsoil washing away carrying with it man made fertilizers and herbicides
Fishes and frogs showing up with no gills, and to many legs and eyes
From the banks the trash could be seen entering the gulf headed to garbage island
As smoke stacks puffed away into the air, manufactures can be seen smiling

Carbon emissions has become such a hot topic, even a car has to pass
But it's what's spewing from global industry that makes us need a mask
The powers that be decided that a company can be considered human
They've granted the same rights to industry, as to a living, breathing human

Corruption doesn't care anymore, it drags it's sickness right out into the open
Human's inability to get along, our ability to hate, is what they keep hoping
It's amazing how many countries maintain order without the use of a gun
But the division between gun rights is the largest divide under the sun

The gun and it's bullets are massed produced for a reason
Sprinkled here and there among the unwanted helping them to commit treason
They've been used in the commission of nearly every type of crime
From human traffick, drugs, and even a killer with killing on their mind

They aren't going anywheres, that's not what this piece is about
This is just an observation, a piece pointing something out
It would take individuals that really care, organizing, and opening their mouths
Remembering that the ballet at the box still carries some clout
