Surge


When people tell me humans are so powerful
The nuclear bombs, the pollution, the industry
I don't doubt them, I think humans emerge
From the primitive ooze of evolution
Genocide, war, Chernobyl, Bhopal, Agent Orange
Humans have taken every good effort
And bad too
And have used that effort to full effect to purge
To destroy, to cause complete annihilation
And still, when I see the storm surge
I am not impressed by what humans can do
