The air has been ripped apart by our razor breathing
Cutting it with shear happiness for its own sake
Jaws snapping in every morsel of mountain top
The world, our daily supper, running with cutlery
We tear recklessly into life to get our desired
Unlimited in our capacity to see all for self
Nature uninhibited frolics with our tainted destiny
Steamy cheeks of rugged fearlessness puff out
Believing excess consumption essential to strength
Full with grandeur vine that wraps around thought
It was meant to be for me, whatever it is I want
Carnivorous we partake of every edible art alive
“More” being the word most heard resounding here
Those to not be endowed with voracious palette
Feast only on the stray grain carried on the wind
The unequaled sharing leaves the world tilted cracked
Knife in search of sharping will always be searching for prey
Boastful chest of metals dominating all human sensibility
Relentless cycle played out in hopeless repeated commonality
How do we stop the inevitability of the few conquerors
And the multitude of invisible captives they lay waste
Will we finally blow the candle out that lights our way?
Or will the dove of gentleness pervade rescue hearts astray
Change must happen; hands must open out of clenched fist
For together we will perish or together we will live
