I
You make your bed you sleep in it...
Above you, security to shield you
From the evils of the outside world.
When you lay your body down
And close your eyes so tight;
Do you really feel secure?
One tree is cut and banished
From all of Nature's lusture and glory.
With one tree, you start a foundation,
A start to a new beginning.
A start to building that new security,
A start to that roof over your head.
Solid and steady, she stands
Over you as you slumber.
For one man's security, another must die.
A bird without a nest;
Life without shade...
Where does it all go?
When you build your house of security,
And lay your head to rest,
To escape,
From the place we call "Mother Earth",
The place we call our own,
Do you ever look out the windows
Of the souls?
Where are all the trees?
Where are all the bees?
Why doers not one bird chirp?
Or fly?
When you look outside
Do you see that security?
Or do you see nothing
But Death?
Are we the killers or the victims?
Do we hide from the outside
Of our souls?
Secure our foundations
And roofs?
Or are we killing
And stampeding
All that gives us reason to smile?
A reason to breathe?
Do we build these walls
And foundations
Only to escape ourselves?
Or escape reality
In all her bliss and glory?
In the end only one thing remains...
We fear what we see
When we look inside ourselves
And see nothing but emptiness
Only blackness and Death
Befalling before our eyes
No heroes on horses
No men in capes
To save us now.
When we destroy Nature
Are we not being self-destructive?
We are all our own Robin Hoods
Yet, when we steal
From where we live
We lose reason to exist.
And when we cease to exist
As a race,
As Humans,
Mother Nature will cry
And once again we flourish
With no one to stop Her
And Her wonderous powers.
Sleep good my friend
Under your secure roof,
Wonder not why
When you look out your window
Blue skies are black
And not a voice to be heard;
Not a song to be sung;
And Death and despair
Are your only atmosphere.
Worry not...
Just go back to your slumbering ignorance
With no one to blame but yourself,
When your nightmares appear
And become your reality.
