Absurd

There was so much to tell you
Nature
Changed the form, the state, and the place
It was absurd

There was so much to show you
It was so beautiful
But look at the mess it's in now

Rich carpets of leaves and flowers
The world's floor is swept here
This idea of the natural being dirty
Of the inorganic not being made

Destruction is a reflection of the human
If inhuman ambition the Being
This infertile image of the desert
I never thought it would come to this

Self-destructive
False harmful victims?

There was so much to enjoy
Without power
So many stories, so many flavors
Golden grasses

There was so much to breathe
It was so pure
In those rivers we used to bathe

They clear everything and complain about the weather
What a conflicting irony to be
Imbalance that feeds the pests
Altered grain, altered bread

We dirty rivers, we depend on the waters
It doesn't matter the violent means
Lust is the ethics of the living perverse
Dead for money

Colors, so many colors
Such beauties
Are gone
Verses and stars
So many fairies that I didn't see

False goods, progress?
With the mother, ingratitude
They gave the henhouse
For the fox to watch
