Time and time again, I see these emotions in people.

The all encompassing, all powerful, all consuming.

It affects our leaders,

Our governments,

Our people.

The core emotions for true power.

But what is the point in power, when all you do is take?

The world has nothing left to give.

Yet we continue to take, as if it is our right.

Let me tell you.

It is not our right,

We are not even in the right.

A species so lost in time, so out of touch.

Yet we pretend to be so smart.

Arrogance.

That is all it is.

We lust for what we cannot have, we take what we want by force.

We rip and we tear.

We scream and we cry.

And when there is nothing left, who do we blame?

It’s his fault, it’s her fault.

People turning on one another, pointing fingers.

Arguing.

Meanwhile the earth weeps,

It’s rivers run with the blood of those we took from.

The sky cry’s.

The animal dies.

And what do we do?

We sit and we blame.

We sit and continue to take.

We sit and point at the tragedies we create.

All while the earth sits and waits,

The stillness of the air,

Of the earth,

Stagnant with distaste.

As it sits and it waits.
