There’s no loss equal to that of the world
Common sense love conscience and sanctity
That’s why the vexed unhappy gods have hurled
Their wrath thoughtful of our morality
No worst then the ill will reared in the chest
Of nations growing pollution to bear,
I cried ere long and my cries were ne’er yessed
O world, just once listen and be aware
Of the damaging noise and the thick smoke
The strong reek of powder in your big nose
Can’t you smell, can’t you foresee the death stroke
A deciphered quietus coming close
Where’s your faith your virtue your piety
To think of mankind kindly as a whole
And defy this coming catastrophe
To make heaven life and living your goal
The scientist is naught but a trained thief
Who thieves from nature its hidden forces
That was and still is my presumed belief
A cause to block all the harmful sources
In the schools go back to nature to live
Peacefully without the thick of the fray
Then our heavenly God will surely give
His blessing for us to live free and gay
