Anthropocene

We’re standing on the baggage of a dozen generations
Like it’s always been this way
The constant growth of competing sovereign nations
Leading us to gradual decay
The world can carry all, but we need a different mind
A genuine call
A call for change of course away from catastrophe
Forget philanthropy or charity
Or rainbow exploitation
What we need is cooperation and solidarity
As more prehistoric carcasses combust
We approach a future made of dust
The alternative is not an alternative
It’s the only way to live
Radical is not extreme
It’s the only way to avert
A slow, painful end of the Anthropocene

Disrupted, depleted, destruction repeated
What a shame
And those with the might to make it a right
Make sure everything stays the same

The way forward is not the way down
We’re not special, we too can drown
The way forward is not the way back
Back to nature
Where do you think we’ve been at?

The Predicament

Barren land
Barren land
Barren land
Empty spaces
Barren land
Deserted fields
Barren land
Barren land
Barren land
Absent faces
Barren land
Fire shields
Who does it serve?
Who’s gonna help?
How’s it gonna end?
Barren land
Barren land
Barren land
The sky is burning, we’re not learning
We can’s see the effects that we
Are causes of, with too much stuff
We’re compelled to buy, don’t question why
We need more
We want more
Where’s it come from?
Where’s it going?
Not sure
The woods are fuming, we’re assuming
That magically, automatically
It’ll all be fine, no time to whine
Or listen to frustrated youth
So dumb
Dumb
Ill-informed, condescending
Wrong
The rivers drained, what does remain
Is full of trash made for quick cash
The air is rotten, we’ve forgotten
How to connect and disconnect
Our minds
Our minds
Alienated, isolated
Detached
The sky is falling, they keep stalling
Never acting, just distracting
With made-up wedges, empty pledges
Trickling liability goes down
It goes down
What can be done
Has to be done
Right now
Now!
Now!
Now!
Now!
Now!
