Sleep Sweet Gaia

  Understanding; pure of purpose,

  Knowledge; tool of progress,

  The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  Yet what purpose has man

  As he digs his own grave.

  Insight; gift of thought,

  Thought; demand of sapience,

  Yet if my ancestors could look upon me,

  Would they not choose to stay up in their tree?

  And lo now our judgement is come,

  Not God, not other; Just us

  Justice with hint of bitter irony,

  And so the apocalypse of man

  Is the lullaby of the world.
