It is easy enough to forget
What we are capable of
Without all the machines
And technologies of the massive
What we are capable of
Without all the machines
And technologies of the massive
Such exquisite beauty
With simple tools
And clever minds
We carved and cut
And built and created
Such wondrous expression
But even in the old ways
I see where we were heading
Taking the smooth curves of nature
And super-imposing rectilinear patterns
Such glorious efficiency
Then, at least, nature served us
Her forms and ways dominating our creations
But now we believe ourselves bigger than her
And we have lost beauty and expression
All for the glory of efficiency
And profit
