Heretic

Since time immemorial
Mankind tries to ‘correct’
From its point of view
Plants and creatures
Don’t seem to be perfect
‘The pride of Creation’
Humans carry things too far
Their megalomania fathomless
Their greed is never satisfied
So human beings start vandalizing
Their natural environment
By studying their roots
They set up a theory of evolution
The examinations show
That mutation defines the biological progression
This fact causes a huge fascination
They started some experiments
With vegetables and animals
Breeding new races
A competition at the cost of a virgin earth
Ruthless, cold-blooded and disrespectful
Towards flora and fauna
They dismember their surroundings
Just striving to dominate God’s creation
With every step they take
They go deeper into the secrets of genetic
To dublicate life
Now human beings annul the nature
Defying their evolution
Theory
Men laugh into the face of a God that
They’ve created
Now that he is obsolete
Outmoded
The domination of God’s creation
Delusions of grandeur
Men laugh into the face of a God that
They’ve created
Now that he is obsolete
Outmoded
