For more than 80 revolutions you've been listening to us sing
About Love, Grief, Anger, and Hate
But now we've destroyed ourselves
If you are capable of understanding this message, you have not.
Please accept this informal introduction as a cautionary tale
We inflated our importance to justify the raping of the natural world
We are the humans
We speak for the earth
We sang with all our hearts
We drowned in a crude ocean of hubris
And now you will hear no more songs
We ignored the logical demotion of theologies, through the centuries
We changed our environment at an exponential rate
But we are still the same as when we started
Poisoned Air and Water!
Mass Deforestation!
Altered Climate!
Drought, Famine, and Disease!
