Scarcity is in all things
Nothing is infinite
Regardless we swindle our mother
Take what we want with nothing but pain in return
A detrimental attitude left unchecked
Destroyed our family and poisoned ourselves
Blinded to the world outside of comfort we doom our children
Making them suffer for our greed
The defilement of the sacred soil
And the genocide of our siblings
Leave a bleak outlook for the future
Amidst the chaos a realization is born
The solution to the problem
To avert disaster there is but one choice
The expulsion of the infection
And the purification of the land.
Author notes
Our society is feeding on itself and nature, and is going to collapse into chaos shortly if nothing is done.
The earth's resources are not infinite.
