Flames burn the excess
As if we have left any excess to burn
We waste and abuse and ignore and abhor
We should not exist anymore
But yet, we flourish as a bacterial threat
We languish in our gluttonous debt
We rape and scar and kill and mar
We should not have trodden so far
Humanity is beautiful in so many ways
But it is negated by our destructive daze
No one considers consequence to those that follow
We just plunder along as we wallow.
