A life wasted will leave a stain, a life thats saved will always remain
I’ve wasted my whole life.

From the day I opened my eyes

Every following moon and sunrise.



Consuming more than my share.

My mark is left without a care.



Filling the piles of humanity

With the aftermath of consumerism.



Somewhere beneath this earth

Deep within the soils of time.


Our ancestors blood gave birth

To a legacy of wasteful decisions.


And somewhere down the line.

We took that fateful design.

And decided to multiply.



Building great pyramids

Of junk and rejected things.

Countless diapers, plastic cups,

And a glitter of forgotten diamond rings.



We are born to an earth of endings

And cannot develop a desire of beginnings.



One day we will walk through trails of waste

Fighting for the last shred of wonder.



Unity is something we will never see.

Because it's not tomorrow we seek

But the inevitable today to fulfill.   



I pray for a great flood again.

Release the jackal from its den.

This won't be God’s doing It will be ours.


We will flood this world ocean

Washing away all of this sadness.

This sickening greed and stockpiling

Of Machines and overpriced life.



Like a grave worm searching over the dead

Looking for something new to decay.



We look no longer to renewable life.

We Build roads from the living!



We have paved ourselves.

Over the trillions of lives.

Who’s decisions are made by its leaders.



We have fallen from the tree of life

Lying Beneath the musty tomb 

Of Greed and  Materialism
