I wrote this kind of a brain storming activity after reading a midsummers night dream.
What fools we mortals be
Even given all are technology
We still destroy and plunder
The land from which we feed.
The trees from which we breath
And also contaminate the seas.
An so I bleed on my hands and knees
Am I the only one who can see
What fools we mortals be

I'm a dying romantic and when i can no longer write i can no longer live -Jeremiah Johnson-

(fix the are to our )

I feel our technology is a main part of the problem, rather than a solution.
Yep, we are fools, at best.
