1st Poetry Journal- What I've Done by: Linkin Park

This song's lyrics have definitely inspired me to think about all aspects of our life. Every creature has their own economic footprint they leave on the earth and we as human beings don't realize how much damage we do to our own planet. Watching this video and already being a big fan of Linkin Park I took the time to look at the deeper meaning through the words and thought progressions. If we could stop for a minute and think through our actions before we just do them we could make a huge difference in the way our world is slowly dieing. Each time a person litters, wastes food/water sources or even drives around aimlessly for the sake of it; do they really know how much damage they are causing?

Not only do we do damage to the planet by wasting things, we also demote other races and start fascist stand points against them (Hitler, Osama Bin laden and many others). Weaponry and warfare does damage to the planet and us as well. Life is a vicious circle where there can be no peace without a battle to equal it out; whether it be a blood-bath, nuclear warfare, fascist dictators or just regular disrespect for our home. One of these days human beings will cause the demise of a peaceful home by dieing at the hands of their selfish creations. The maker will be smited by the products for a change if we don't change something soon. That is message this video and song put across to me.

Oryanna, sadly, I can't help but agree with the comments you have made. Part of me thinks of humans as being a cancer. We grow unchecked killing our host. However, a part of me also hopes that we will finally come to our senses, and make changes that will heal our earth.

Mark: fourteen out of fifteen

I completely and totally understand it is interesting to see how we as a race are being a dictatorship over the entire earth considering so many of our views are opposed to a dictatorship.
