World is in our hands
Safe and sound
Man gloated
Not even your hands
Safe for now
Nature retorted

Master of sights sounds and smells
Man gloated
Not even your eyes, hands and mouth
In your control now
Nature retorted

Ready to set foot on Mars
Man gloated
Not even out your doors
Nature retorted

Can even manipulate and modify genes
Man gloated
Not even your respiratory systems
Nature retorted

Masters of our environment
Man gloated
Now learn to master its viruses too
Nature retorted

Think global
Act local
World without borders
Man gloated
True for viruses too
Nature retorted
