What Is Your Best?
Can we convince aliens that humans are worth exploring?
Welcome visitor, to our little slice of heaven
Where we enjoy all to us she’s given
Flora and fauna all at our behest
We utilise them to their utmost, we’re truly blessed.
-
What is the best thing about us you ask?
Well, we’re resilient creatures
But we do have some contradictory features
Like we’re happy when we stack up cash
But sad when in the process forests are slashed
How we say the earth is important to us!
But when it comes to saving it, we talk and fuss
Never truly doing what’s needed
To really improve and succeed it
From previous generations that broke and plundered
Resources, and we’re now dealing with the blunders
-
I can’t exactly blame them, that’s just progress
They couldn’t have known fully the potential regress
Maybe we can blame greed and insanity
Or the overall ignorance of humanity
But you can’t underestimate a comfortable life
To reach it, we’re willing to pay whatever price
From hunting and gathering
To sitting in cool rooms and chattering
Comfort is the main driver of progress
But…
-
Before you get corrupted
Emotionally disrupted and erupted
I suggest you stay calm and collected
Because now we’re seeing the fruits of our labour
And it looks like we’re no longer so eager
To destroy our one home
Or its wonderful biomes
We’re trying to fix it all now
We’re truly trying somehow
So don’t be dejected just yet
I’m sure you’re feeling upset
But just look at what we humans did!
We almost destroyed the planet
But we really didn’t plan it
Now we’re recreating, from scratch it feels
But I’m sure we’ll succeed, with the right ideals
-
Creation, destruction
Innovation and corruption
Humans can look crazy to you outsiders
But just some patience it requires
To understand our most powerful trait
Imagination…
