We Have Invaded You (Happy Earth Day)

from Ends and Odds, Volume One by Martin Rivas

lyrics

We have invaded you
We have invaded you
And we have taken and taken and taken and taken from you

And we expect/demand you to continue to provide as you have
Oblivious to our existence
Like an elephant is oblivious to the bacterial cells that make it feel ill

We named a day for you
We named a day for you
As if you'd know what a day is, or what time is
Measurements of our invention

Your very name created by us
How highly we think of ourselves
How highly we think of ourselves

How soon we won't be around to think
How soon we won't be around to think if we don't start urgently re-thinking our ways

Happy Earth Day to you.
