Post Human

I dreamt of a time far in the future
Where no on two feet ruled anymore
It was quiet and peaceful, the air was clean
There was no war and no machines

One hundred corporations are responsible for three quarters of the world's pollution
And yet you're still shoving reusable straws down my throat
If we don't act fast the Earth will be unlivable in the next three decades
I just hope we leave a chance for whoever takes our place
Gut the shopping malls, and empty the banks
Let the weeds take them back
Greenhouses for a new age
Hail the cockroach, the waterbear reigns
A new apex predator, small and benevolent

I want to rip down all the metal spikes in the trees and man-made columns crumbling
So the birds can reclaim their nesting place
And the homeless will at least be able to sleep
Be able to sleep

And the lamb lays with the wolf
And no one goes without food
Or goes extinct
And our own bones are used for fossil fuels
Maybe one day we all will be erased
I think then the Earth might be a better place
