Man has always travelled
But has never conquered
The seas often so majestic
Still the calm can erupt
Into waves so ferocious.
Every year thousands die
From disasters predictable
Yet the loss and painful memories
Soon fade into the past.
In haste we move
To meet the needs we create
Less is not the way
For the market can decide
An insatiable appetite to consume more.
Despite technology always promising
And the danger to nature ever alarming
The pace of industry continues to soar
With consequences more dire than ever.
