Without Us...

I have been lost...
searching for myself.
I feel too much...
and I tire of this world's oppressive ways.
The media desensitizes with images
of dead and battered.
Our children grow up thinking they are
entitled...
into adults who think they are
entitled.
Entitled to what?
False gods would lie and profess we are somehow special...
with our humanistic sense of self-righteous arrogance...
our materialistic wants and our selfish designs.
Truth be known-for our very survival...
the slate must be made clean...
and all must be stripped away.
To stand with nothing...
is to gain everything.
To open one's eyes and realize
That all that has been created by man at the expense of others...
force fed by man to the point of destroying our world...
all this will eventually
be the demise of man.
And the world will go on-
we, with our arrogant sense
of self-importance are loathe to understand or accept that yes...
oh yes,
the world will go on without us.
Unless we change our mightily foolish ways-
The world will go on without us...
without us.
