I'm tired of forced upon silence 
by the need of society 
decades pass by

i sit here wondering why 
they all say its ok 
when clearly its going and gone
already

Why must i remain silent 
so i can watch the world be taken to its death
Why cant anyone see

That if this is okay
we are all *******
We use 
use 
and use

Beyond a share of this beauty stricken planet
once many other animals roam 
you can say its the natural order 
all you want 

but tell me is 
Overhunting and modifying all within sight 
a "natural order" 


We hate murderers 
but we ****** the worst thing to ****** of all
So tell me again

How we are all going to be okay
as more decades pass

We wait 
and wait for science to fix things

News flash 
science isn't going to save 
the after effects of science

Truly mass ****** of other species is not under
that "natural law"
those rights we all so deserve
because we are some "gods or goddesses child"

If so why cant we get our ego 
our pride out of the façade 
and see past the 
mists of mortality

Why must we destroy 
The greatest gift we were given
As we fight among ourselves

Our gift 
Cries for the words of silence to be spoken 

to have her story spoken and not silenced 

Our greatest gift 
soon will be burnt out 
if we can not see beyond that of our sight now

Destruction isn't inevitable
Just lies beyond the mists of the facades of reality

Just reach out and embrace 
As you finally transform 
past the futility of a small child of earth
