Soulmindlessness

We know in our hearts what is right

But walking the middle way

Through the dichotomy of life

Is harder than

coal burned to a diamond

Is harder than

unswerving love

Who watches us

While we pretend to see the light of God

Setting fires to the earth

Devouring the land for

confined feeding grounds

Devouring the land for

highways 'round our garden

We're gonna pave it all

In our soulmindlessness

Entrapping others

Diverting them from life's truths

Whilst calamity after calamity

Engulfs the world

Will we awaken in time

To secure a future for our grandchildren

Or do we burn them too

In our gluttony

In our soulmindlessness
