 Intoxicated Land

We may not be fully able to perceive  
the divine wisdom,  
But what sort of divinity  
can bring such cruelty…!  
I feel pity and lament humanity.  
We simply justify cruelty.  
 
O mother of lust,  
That agonized with pain,  
Replete with anger and outrage,  
Could it be that you are so cruel  
To let the beasts of wrath  
Come out of your womb?!  
 
O intoxicated land,  
Bless and have pity on your brood,  
The raging monster dashed its mount of fury  
To crash over the shores…  
The mad ghoul wailed,  
Blowing breaths of annihilation  
Leaving behind ruin upon ruin.  
 
Is this the way we are shown  
we are not superior  
That there is a higher power  
ruling the universe..?  
We need to stop polluting our lands  
ravaging and depleting our environment  
We have changed the force of nature  
Now it wreaks its revenge upon us...  
 
Our actions  
cause the weakest and poorest to suffer  
Industrialization has taken its toll  
We have to take responsibility  
Think about people of the world  
Take steps to reverse  
damage done  
before we are all destroyed
