Humanity’s Awakening

The state of things have human cause:
air that brings to us labored breath,
disease that brings us grievous death,
and famine from selfish jaws

To save ourselves we’re forced by laws:
learning to live in simpler ways,
ignoring the latest day’s craze.
Common sense needs to take control,
the mind of each comfortable soul,
and heed nature’s warnings always.
