money

whoever came up with that crap

was an evil bastard

or maybe just ignorant

and all caught up in selfishness


the control freaks rule in our time

but all times pass


when people don't be with people

selfishness comes into play


wanting is the curse of our time

we no longer embrace and nurture ourself

and all our selves


wanting is a form of rejection

and self pity

as is anger which is soon to follow


the creatures of the field

those that we call animals

are far superior to humans in our time

and no threat to our little planet

as we humans have become


progress is a very dangerous game to play

and only embraced by those who don't know how to live


and now fear and shame

and their offspring pride

engulfs the land
