Us.

apocalyptic nightmares
flooding in my sleep
thunder drowns the noise
of the waking beast

the fear slides down my throat
air sucked from my lungs
hiding not an option
for the beast has won

we live in hatred
our day has come
to pay the price
for what we have done

the earth a sacrifice
for human desire
trees disappear
above us all a canopy of wire

as time passed
we wanted more
never considering
what for

robots, computers
cell phones and cars
we live like this
forever behind these technological bars
