third planet from the sun

i was slightly pissed off when i wrote this, had just had a spat with my fifteen year old son. so i shall dedicate this to dylan my son. how did we get into this space where time has no meaning and life's a disgrace? where what used to be no longer exists, and where what is doesn't coexist easily, in serenity. we have come far this planet of ours, we've progressed. oh yes, oh yes! our inventions take us to space, create scientifically engineered animals, and genetically modified food (perhaps a superior human race). we wage war proudly on people that parade their differences, (let no man be an individual). our weather controls our lives to extremes. it makes us or breaks us or bursts at the seams. we take and we break, we make and we rape, we abuse and we use, this planet of ours... and still we state at great expense, this planet of ours is not yet fully spent! oct 2005
