And the Earth Has Rested

This planet we have violated All the species we've eradicated To our convenience domesticated It seems our greed knows no bounds Entombed in our ivory towers As nature rejuvenates And the earth has rested Humanity is tested We’re caged and vested Virtual reality as casket A comfort zone For years we've nested And the earth has rested We will not learn until it hurts and scars us This fateful spring the lesson starts Earth will find a way to dethrone us Poetic justice has arrived at last We've been gifted this mirror to hinder our raging decadence It’s time for introspection There is a crownless reflection The madness between the four walls of our isolation shouldn't be in vain Shouldn't be in vain! We've crossed the oceans, our towers kiss the skies We worship idols as mother nature cries Here to remind us how fragile are our lives We are decrowned as this calamity arrives And the earth has rested Humanity is tested We're caged and vested Virtual reality as casket A comfort zone For years we've nested And the earth has rested
