Create
/God created life and nature
Human beings created the rest
Looking around
All those artifacts
Products of human creations
Flood everywhere
Gifted with intelligence
Born with survival instinct
Ingrained with endless curiosity
Human beings will never cease to create
Non-stop creations and inventions have
Transformed cavepeople into flying men
Pushed human history forward
From civilization to modernization
Time wheel continues to roll forward
Knowledge growth accelerates
Creation speeds up
What will be the life of our offspring
In hundreds of years if mankind still exists
Will new technology allow them to
Hop from one planet to another
Roam in galaxies just like
We travel around the world
Alas, double-edged swords are our creations
Promoting human well-beings, but also
Levying heavily on Earth’s wholesomeness
Air, land and sea are all polluted
Space trash littered Earth orbits
Are we writing the last chapter of human history
With burgeoning toxic wastes we create
Will we blow up precious legacies of our forefathers
With nuclear weapons of our inventions
Time will tell
