“Nature” is talking about humans

They came, they saw ...
they thought they'd conquered.
Poor, deluded beings!

They swam, they crawled,
On two legs they lumbered
Think themselves kings and queens!

They gathered, they hunted
They trapped, they tamed
They destroyed so they could build.

They mechanized, automated
They fought and maimed
They armed themselves, they killed.

They bred, they multiplied
They laughed while others cried

They took more than a fair share
Care? Do you think they care?

They lost all their instincts
What's left just stinks

But it won't be long
Humans will get too strong

Then humankind
Leaving no trace behind

Will perish
Is this nature's wish?

No, nature is mother
father, sister, brother

Nature hopes mankind
Will one day find
A conscience, collective
and learn to give.

Nature wants harmony
Humans want money
As long as humans want more
There's doom in store.
