And so they crawled out of the churning soup of life
Barely standing they reached forth from the slime, so began the strife.
More trouble these creatures than any that had gone before.
The gate keepers wandered why of all the creatures on the earth, these they feared more.
At first they were gentle creatures eating berries and hurting naught
But all too soon they changed in the floodlight of evolution they were caught.
Man grew, he thrived he took from mother earth forgetting to pay her back.
The gate keepers were shocked by their attitude and grieve to see that gratitude they lack.
So tired was mother nature and she had hardly just begun
Her tears were flowing freely and her ice was melting under the sun.
These humans grew in stature and this planet they heartlessly raped .
The gate keepers were speechless as they watched their mouths agape.
