Swallow The Reality

It's funny to consider
That the end may be near
That it all could be over​

Still no point to live in fear
But as calamity gets closer
And we fuss about what to wear
It's hard not to see the absurdity
In our petty human follies
The pointlessness

As we irreversibly maim and destroy
And shamelessly deploy WODs
Screw with the lives of innocent detainees
Both from home and from overseas
We've become, it seems
Our very own worst enemies

Such a low bar set on integrity
Corruption and graft without impunity
Made a putrid mess of our land and seas
Chemicals from industry
Spreading abnormality and mass disease

And all for money, bogus cash
Dirty putty, soon to be trash
Ruled by greed
Society has sickened
Been brought down to it's knees

Poised to collapse
Unless the planet wipes us first, perhaps
It won't be such a bad thing
A cleansing

Gaia's way of dispensing
With a aggravating blight
That multiplies aggressively
To it's own extinction
From human condition
To human affliction

It's tragic to consider
That we really, truly have screwed it up
All the promises of imminent solutions
Slashed for profit, thrown in the mud

We're sinking fast
Look around you
Dark and deep the shadows cast
Swallow the reality and
Take a deep breath
It may just be your last

Increasingly punishing 
To swallow the reality
Aspirations vanishing
An alarming test of sanity

We had it all 
And we fucked it over
It might not quite be the end
But it's surely getting closer

And the good news is...
