Oh Plant, I'm defeated,
Defeated to you,
I'm Human.
When I look at you, I find myself
so small! so mean! so selfish!
Your life and that of mine
When I compare, I see
The contrast of Good and Evil.
You are the God, I believe
And I ask myself,
Am I not the Devil?
Oh Plant, I'm defeated,
Defeated to you,
I'm Human.
You give us breath to live
And food to eat and grow.
Give us rain, relief from pain
in our sufferings and woe.
Oh Plant, I'm defeated,
Defeated to you,
I'm Human.
Glaring at me,
I feel shame to thee,
I've nothing to give
I'm a thief, I'm a Demon
I put off your life,
I live on your flesh.
Yet I cut off your throat
build castles with your bones.
Oh Plant, I'm defeated,
Defeated to you,
I'm Human.
My civilization of motion,
My search into the space.
Also fueled by you,
Your ancestors' remains.
So I hide my pride,
Oh Plant, on shame
I'm defeated to thee
I beg for your mercy,
I'm Worthless Human.
