Looking for answers

Ashes rained down on the fields

As fire rises

Nature has no shields

The elements' surprises

With declining yields

 

The valley of ashes

Where the sun shined

The planet crashes

Where the moon aligned

Life flashes

 

The world is ours

I hate humans

Make money buy cars

I hate humans

Get drunk battle scars

I hate humans

Oh, just watch the stars

I hate humans

 

I'm not one to stereotype

Did it for the rhyme

Smoking from the peace pipe

Feeling sublime

All we got is time

They say we got time

 

Deforestation

Exploitation

Marriage of children before their first ovulation

Predation

Degradation

Taxation

Starvation

I am dreaming of salvation

 

The world is ours

I hate humans

Make money buy cars

I hate humans

Get drunk battle scars

I hate humans

Oh, just watch the stars

I hate humans

 

My story's pretty sad

I'd love to stay and chat

But the world is just a rabbit hat

Oppressed women in Chad

Why so negative, it is not only mad

One finds beauty behind the evil mask

Its only one life you had
