"Wir leben in einer Zeit der Ungleichzeitigkeit: Während wir technologisch im 21. Jahrhundert stehen, sind unsere Weltbilder noch von Jahrtausende alten Legenden geprägt. [...] Wir verhalten uns wie Fünfjährige, denen die Verantwortung über einen Jumbojet übertragen wurde."
(Michael Schmidt-Salomon)
The book of lies told us
We're genetic perfection.
The image of god,
A spreading infection
We are scum! A disease!
A parasite, a microbe.
Death and horror
All around the globe!
Reconsider your stuck-up opinion.
You're just an animal
Dissipative and cruel.
Eat or be eaten.
That's the only rule.
You're just a rack-wheel
Of the whole machinery.
Think about it, your brain gets swirled.
You are a part of the
Virus of the world.
