Fools

We spend billions searching
To find intelligence in the outside universe
But every single day
We kill thinking animals
And who does that
Make the beast?
If the slaughter ever stops
Our world might recover
But the oceans run red
And the fisheries die
We live, but really are dead
Because we shit where we live
And have no idea
How truly foolish we are
We pollute the sky
Suffocated of breath
We could stop
But choose to not
And rob ourselves
Of the air for our lungs
To nourish our flesh
Humans are fools
We still have an Eden
After many millennia of abuse
We could all exist
In perfect bliss
Instead we choose
Death
