Bug In A Jar

We used them up
like never before,
acted immature
there would always be more

We watched while earth's
resources were stripped,
but had no idea of
what to do next

Go off into space
is what they suggest,
but beyond that
it's risky at best

So here we are
like a bug in a jar,
and our little world
won't last too much more.
