Earth vs. Man

Earth vs. Man

 

Over the course of time

Man has come a long way

From drawing on cave walls

To launching probes to the Milky Way

 

Of the many species on Earth

Only one, reckless and cruel

Forsaking innocent lives

To quench thirst of his own rules

 

He’s proved himself

A pretty smart guy

So it makes no sense at all

How he can cause us all to die

 

A mathematical genius

Philosopher of intelligence

Politically correct

Morality of relevance

 

A craftsman with all the tools

Master of construction

In bed with allies and enemies

A mastermind of destruction

 

A sad day it will be

When the sun shines no more

As our Earth burns to a cinder

And then man will know the score

 

For man had to play a game

Where no one really wins

And all life on Earth will die

Paying the cost for man’s sins
