| Un-bequeathed Earth
         No magical incantation can undo 
        The forces of nature which pervade 
        And defy elixirs of modern day. 
        Flawed as she may be toward us 
        Mother nature cares for herself only 
        Not her parasites which leech her. 
        The hypnotic rhythms of the ocean waves 
        Only serve to lure us towards tranquility 
        Permitting us to believe she needs our help. 
        While in reality, she is quite a delinquent
        mother 
        One who can disown us at any moment 
        And strike with the vengeance that physical law provides. 
        She favors us now until something better comes
        along 
        Made this planet ours, until we have served our purpose 
        We should dare not test her [uncaring/selfish] wrath. 
        The world was not made for us 
        It was made only for her sovereignty 
        Of which we have no say.
