false hope
direction
won't be changed
people opened
Pandora's box
current time
can't be rearranged
no such thing
as real peace talks
hang on
down this slippery slope
past the point
no return
climate shock
do you
really believe
mankind will cope
absolutely everything
abscission is strange
witness God Zilla
absentia has finally come
notice Mothra
close in pursuit
entering this Hydra zone
a recurring  tone
count those tight-necked suits
tied to all their bloody flooding
ignorant creation
all this blinding lightning
more thundering volcanoes
erupting and corrupting
while this interrupted world moans
blundering and frightening
beyond belief
imaginary enlightening
not so much
as compassionate relief
what should we
believe in
so lost faith
what could sympathy
empathy reveal
what a symphony
three-headed dragons
are truly real
what fiery hope
can there be
if monsters and dragons
can't sense or feel
love and compassion
every failed and forgotten
climate action deal
such a failure
powerful hearts are rotten
life of the planet
hope is what they steal
