Squandered Paradise |
| Humankind has squandered the gifts that Mother gave |
| A world of wealth and plenty; |
| led to an early grave |
| And paths to so-called 'progress' with blood of millions paved |
| Utopia soon out of reach |
| As swords grew mightier than the plough |
| Such promise of superiority |
| Tell me — where are we now? |
| Bloodletting a planet and culling our own lives |
| Caught in the wake of our self-destruction |
| Hail the glorious humankind — Hail! |
| Hail the splendour of our kind! |
| Hail the glorious mankind! |
| Lack of understanding; |
| about responsibility |
| The kind we are so eager to avoid |
| Evermanipulating — the bringers of war and woe |
| A travesty within the cosmic scale |
| Our legacy is fraught with death |
| Battle-ridden and paid for in blood |
| True bringers of violence and flame |
| A tyranny of intellect; |
| a vile manifestation |
| An error of the universe; |
| harbingers of damnation |
| As history repeats itself time upon time |
| And still we fail to learn |
| Unworthy of the air we breathe; |
| unworthy of our pride |
| Unworthy of our power; |
| so gleefully abused |
| Our kind stands here accused; |
| of squandering it all |
| We’ve been weighed; |
| and swiftly found unworthy |
| Weighed and found unworthy; |
| of it all |
| Evermanipulating — the bringers of war and woe |
| A travesty within the cosmic scale |
| Squandered paradise… |
