As we consume our crust down to the core
and bring our soils to decay,
we securely watch in trance from our luxurious homes.
Ignorant to the state of our true residence.
Concrete slabs go over forgotten paths that could once regrow,
now only to be replaced with concerns for indulgent behaviors and the ease of convenience.
Leaving us entangled in a web of super highways, leading us
back and forth on a monotonous pursue
to gluttonize any peace left that continues to thrive.
Over excess and leave non for the rest.
God Bless America.

As we consume our crust down to the core
and bring our soils to decay,
we securely watch in trance from our luxurious homes.
Ignorant to the state of our true residence.
Concrete slabs go over forgotten paths that could once regrow,

Leaving us entangled in a web of super highways, leading us
back and forth on a monotonous pursue
to gluttonize any peace left that continues to thrive.
Over excess and leave non for the rest.
God Bless America.
