Aren't we miserable souls?
The sky is so near yet we have disabled ourselves
From marvelling at what it holds
It's beauty remains untold
And yet we complain about people and things
That are obstructing our view
We say that birds are lucky
For being able to fly so high above the rainbow
But we have been to the moon
We pollute the blue fields of heaven
And the body of our Mother Earth
So we seek beyond the stars
For we say it brings us mirth
Yet the reason that we shoot so high
Is merely to escape ourselves
And the hell-hole we've created
Yet the books on children's shelves
Display us as saviours; heroes
And ignore what we have done
To the planet they'll inhabit
Long after we are gone.
Aren't we miserable souls
Trying to militarize outer space
Ignoring the needs of the people on earth.
Aren't we miserable souls
Denying ourselves the beauty of the world
And destroying it whilst complaining about the lack of it.
Aren't we miserable souls
Hoping for saviours so our planet lives
Yet turning blind eyes to the so called heroes we have labelled.
Aren't we miserable souls
Ranting on the media about absent wonders on earth
Knowing that it will be gone soon yet keeping our eyes on computer screens.
Aren't we miserable souls.
