Oh ungrateful mankind
Greedy and egoistic
Disregarding the suffering of nature
Himself, he considers so well

For yourself you invent comfort
Killing others for your pleasure
Destroying in your quest for survival
I am tired of your selfish stance

Are the plants harmful to you?
Quietus you give unto others
Poor innocent living creatures
So woe unto you oh man

Daring you were, oh man
The atmosphere you poisoned
The terra, you untiringly trouble
The waters you have not spared

Hunger, disease and disaster
Cries and craves for help
Makes you realize your plight
It is nemesis that caught up with you
