Unimaginable Path

This unsustainable path we’re on

Yet arrogantly pretend it’s forever

We won’t stop until we’re gone

Human race over

So much now insignificant

The end seems so near

Far too many complacent

While the worst I fear

The human race

A hopeless case

Overpopulated and past the point of no return

Watch it all slowly burn

The human race from which I want to hide

Sometimes inside I think I have already died

We are past the point of no return

Sit with a bottle of wine and watch it all burn

A step up from a monkey; a virus on a path of destruction

Giving up on the future, yet must continue to somehow function

Humanity spreading carelessly so very wide and far

We ruin all we touch; we’re still in denial of what we really are

Oh how I wish I could tell you that it will all be ok

I can’t help but worry that we're all doomed someday

Oh how I wish I could see the future as bright

But I’m stuck here in the dark and reality is my plight

So much now insignificant

The end seems so near

Far too many complacent

While the worst I fear

Billions too many

Little hope, if any

We’re sucking the world dry

Ignorance is bliss; get ready to die

Billions too many sucking the world dry

Losing hope and getting ready to die

This horrid and surreal path

Prepare to feel mother nature’s wrath

Unsustainable and covering the world with stains

Unaware of the unimaginable approaching pain

This unsustainable path we’re on

Yet arrogantly pretend it’s forever

We won’t stop until we’re gone

Human race over
