Dark Tides

The world is changing, it’s not the same And we should look only to ourselves to blame. We make choices each day that will decided whether to delay or make way for the devastating doomsday, the crime against all humanity of who will suffer and who will recover and who will rediscover the connection with nature we lost so long ago. All the trees have gone for greed Because we use and abuse the planet we share for what we want, not what we need Then we will look back and see In our tracks we have destroyed biodiversity. Where once there were clear skies and waves We have left our haze of toxic breath that suffocates the days blocking the hope of the Sun’s rays The stars that our ancestors looked to The new shoots that would breakthrough the vast meadows that rolled over and over into pristine mountain lakes that we revalue as only land for livestock or the concrete jungles that we replace and displace the animals and the plants that now only survive on an ancient bookcase. We mindlessly unlace the delicate interlocking race of nature that binds us together. Where we began and where we belong. For we are not one but a part and yet we still ask how this affects the economy whilst the question is how this affects autonomy of the world that can’t cope. Yet we are too slow to move, too slow to prove that we take this problem seriously and now we are walking deliriously into our own mass extinction. Whilst this seemingly stands controversial we are wasting time, wasting lives because the world is not inertial, it changes universal. Paradise lost in humans self In search for man’s eternal wealth It will destroy us. So dark tides roll in, maybe not today, not tomorrow but soon and for the rest of mankind.
