People, What went wrong ? God gave you everything you need, Sun, moon, stars and the earth, Forests, jungles, rain and heat, You wanted it all for yourself…. Have you heard the cry of the night owl? Roar of the mighty lion? Have you seen the eagle soar? Calm and gracefully across the blue sky? I see the war lords, Their medals glittering like the snicker of the devil, Their mighty guns, Glistening in the moon light, Spreading death and fear, Across the human kind, Have you seen the ocean lately? Have you seen her wail like a mother who lost her child? Have you seen the rivers, that used to flow, Clean fresh water, sparkling in the sun, Like diamonds on a beautiful girls fair skin, Now they carry your excrete, Your filth, your sins Have you seen the forests, That were once mysterious and beautiful, And sheltered beautiful creatures, Now they are barren, empty, Like your hearts, You felled her trees for your greed, You killed her children for your jest People, Ride those mighty waves in the beautiful ocean, She doesn’t mind, Till this land, grow your crops, Earth will smile with you, Take only what you need, And when your belly is full, Look up at the stars and be thankful You put your feet up on that casket, Made from ivory, That once rode high on an elephant, You point to bear skin on your floor, And boast how you killed her with the last shot in your mighty gun, And if you feel mighty and strong, Hang your head in shame people, For you have failed, failed miserably, You have defied nature, And nature will defy you, You have no choice, That is the law of the nature….Birth sign: Sagittarius
