The powdered history of the world
Lies beneath your feet.
The Pacific
Crashes before your eyes.
With two legs
You conquered land.
With two lungs
Water conquers you.
                                          
The growing ignorance of our smallness
Becomes evident to you.
The blatant oneness of the Earth
Is lost on mankind.
With two legs
We marched ahead.
With two lungs
We grew tired.
                                            
The soot filled air
Encroaches, surrounds the globe.
The particulates of our waste
Accumulates on broken promises.
With two legs
Man walked away.
With two lungs
Man coughed blood.
                                             
The warning, beacons of the end
Burned for blind eyes.
The Animals of the world
Fled from impending doom.
With two legs
Man conquered the world.
With two legs
Man himself itself.
