Absurd

There were so many things to tell you
Nature
Changed the shape, the state and the place
It was absurd
 
There were so many things to show to you
It was so beautiful
But notice what a mess it is now
 
Carpets full of leaves and flowers
Here is where we sweep the world's floor
This idea of the natural being dirty
And of the inorganic not making itself
 
Destruction is a human reflex
If greed dehumanizes the Human
This infertile image of a desert
I never thought it would come so far
 
Self-destructive
Fake harmful victims?
 
There was so much for us to enjoy
Without any might
So many stories, so many flavors
Golden grass
 
There was so much air to breathe
It was so thin
We used to bathe ourselves in that river
 
They deforest everything and brag about the time
What a big irony
Such unbalance that feeds the plagues
Altered grain, altered bread
 
We dirty the rivers, we need water to live
The violent means don't matter
The living one's ethics is their lust
They were killed because of money
 
Colors, so many colors
So beautiful
Faded away
Verses and stars
So many fairies I didn't see
 
Fake belongings, progress?
Acting ungratefully with your mothers
They gave the chicken pen
For the fox to guard
