Oh, Man! What have thou done to the world?
Why got we, these curious minds
That destroy their own origin,
That being polluted, pollute everything around,
That create weapons, to destroy our own kind?
Of what use are the minds of men
That be intelligent or dumb;
Which realize not the importance of Mother Nature?

What use thy inventions?
What good thy creations
If thou knowest not
To preserve the world that thou got;
To control thy progress;
To save thy forests;
To chose the right path?
What use? What use?

Being a slave to thy creations,
Ye gave into pleasure;
Ye destroyed other kinds;
Ye destroyed thy life-saver (the ozone);
Ye destroyed thy nature;
Ye forgot what thou are;
Ye destroyed thy own cause;
Ye created blindly, thy own cenotaph.
