…a lion doesn’t kill all the gazelles
Why do we have to have it all to ourselves?
Pretty soon there’ll be nothing left but concrete and cars
and when you see an animal it’ll be like a movie star
THE planet THE forest THE ocean THE skies
THE mountains THE valleys
always THE never mine
if it’s not me never mind
I’m too busy all the time
And without the ownership we ignore the warning signs
OUR planet OUR forest OUR ocean OUR skies
OUR mountains OUR valleys
always we always mine…
One little dot in trillions of stars
one little dot it’s all that we’ve got…
From “Movie Stars,” written and performed by In-Q (short for In Question) at the TED Institute, February 2018.
