Profit Rape

In a world filled with violence
And over-population
Where overflowing landfills
Leave nothing to the imagination

We forget the silent cries
Of a world stripped bare
By handfuls of cash
Going to people who don’t care

The ones who paint the pretty picture
That it’s not as bad as it seems
To take away any doubt
That might take away more green

The message of conserving is smoldered
As the pigs get paid
By the loggers and the lawyers
Who deny the mess they’ve made

When will our quest for convenience
Be directly linked
To global warming, acid rain,
and species going extinct

Humanity for the planet
Which cannot escape
As its inhabitants splendor
In Mother Nature’s rape

Keep the message alive
We have to spread the word
Sacrifice our greed to save the one
Whose screams can’t be heard

Today could be the day to change
A new dawn could give birth
To a nation which protects instead of neglects
The home that we call Earth
