to be ashamed

Alan Green 'Guppyman'

to never think of others
to never give a d*mn
to hide away in corners
to be ashamed
to be a man
to take all of the forest
to bring it to its knees
to pollute all of the rivers
to pollute all of the seas
to destroy the ozone layer
to poison all the air
to never think of others
to never really care
