The destroyers

It gives us shelter,
And we destroy it.

It meets our needs
and we ignore it.

And no matter how much we know,
we just remember to please ourselves.

And then it becomes a destroyer,
and there's no way we can get help from a lawyer.

Then we complain about its cruelty
when we thought of it not once before.

The waters rise,
And the sky cries.

And the trash consumes its floors,
And we slowly run out of hiding spots.

We happen to know what we are doing to ourselves,
It happens to be in our own bookshelves.

But no, we decide to ignore that,
Just to live more like spoiled brats.

We make our surroundings scream,
And everything just becomes pure heat.

The ice kingdoms melt away,
And things start to disappear.

What we knew is no longer in existence,
Now all we can do is look from a distance.

As we destroy what keeps us alive,
And to try and forget we decide to go out for a drive.
