After we’ve waged wars
laid waste
maimed and murdered
and drunk our fill
What then?
After we’ve raped and plundered
Gouged the earth,
Taken all her riches
And stripped of her dignity
What then?
After we’ve polluted the rivers
Cut all the trees
Annihilated all beasts
And built our cities
What then?
After we’ve melted the poles
Drowned the islands
Gorged on tuna
Harpooned all the whales
What then?
After we’ve decimated cultures
Displaced our peoples
Robbed them of land
And established destitution
What then?
After we’ve fed our lust
Satisfied our greed
Abandoned all common sense
And that which is morally right
What then?
After we’ve destroyed
Our past
Our present
Our future
What then?
