From Angor Wat to Gobekli Tempe

Ancient civilization had a lot to say

Long dead gods ruled everything from sun to sand

But destroyed themselves by disrespecting the land

Modern man in the twinkle of an eye

Committed the same wasteful sin and now must die

Our counterparts on Easter Island once observed

They took too much and got what they deserved

Their Muai silent sentinels to an obsessive need

Matched only by modern mans obsessive greed

Mayan gods told Pakal’s heir to end their empire

From their lessons we should aspire

To live at one with the planet

Or suffer the wrath of it

Maybe it’s too late as their long count calender suggests

2012 maybe the best it gets

Crops will wither and die

Famine fueled missles will race through the sky

Little red soldiers will march to a dangerous beat

While governments crumble in defeat

So if the past is at all a foil for our future

We must respect the earth so dear

The concept of jen by K’ung-tzu teaches of a better way

Similiar to Taoist monks who live and pray
