Captains and Chiefs

a relatively thin sliver of raised earth rests

amidst  smaller Islands, discarded crumbs

scattered by massive seismic convulsion

habitat and resource screamed from the mainland

yet most "evolved" mites preffered scraps of turf nearly drowned

amidst tectonic plates involuntarily hustling for ground


perhaps the finite borders lent some comfort

for embryonic minds that languished without structure

some mites pieced together vessels able to transport

their primitive intentions immaturely pushing away gifts of

nurture and solace

primitive indeed to forsake gifts infinitely more precious

so ignorant, unaware that their Love`s were their palaces

moronically pursuing new dirt harboring resources mysterious


but to keep it real, it must be noted

their union`s foundations were far from enlightened

sexes thrust together by past generations much less evolved

the intended purpose vestigially misinterpreted to the point

that the original tail-wagging mite`s strategies had completely

dissolved


so here land the mites thinking theyve made profound contribution

but its the ANALs of Herstory their stamps are now bruised upon

and even as native mites flourish without disrupting the

aesthetic

ignorant newcomers destroy, each decision more pathetic

every "improvement" they are compelled to bestow

results in pollution

hideous structures and roads

hey mangle timeless wonders with agility and ease

by loading the natives with preposterous fears

enslaving them, or just wiping them out with disease

 
My darling it makes me weep to examine further

truths carefully buried, on occassion excavated with fervor

by outsiders like I who just cant stay distracted

by the legion of banal clutter the ignorant mites enacted

every construct whether immense or fitting in hand

might as well be designated for the ultimate landfill

So baby what the HeYel does this tragic trajectory

have to do with the fact that you were created for me?

 
every clearing and edifice blotting

"diminish us piece by piece" what their plotting

"Nature Vs. Nurture"?

just another twisted Credo

Its always been Nature AND Nurture we intuitively know


But Nurture is the Mantra that lazy mites Stranglehold

Cause they destroyed true Nature eons ago

though each of us is born as purely as the first

from inception we`re shielded from, and reared under, that Curse

of consequences born from ego and greed


condemn us all to sterile environments so ill concieved

those original denials conspired by Captains and Chiefs

long faded in the fabric that both comforts and hides

the horrible truths committed by shortsighted mites
