Who am I?

You know me,

I am Vast,

My Touch reaches around this world,

I want to last

some may call me whore,

But many call me mother,

I make and I create

I also smother

You little gear - you can’t escape me,

And you can’t destroy me

As I am big and too many

Just so you try and flee

Why don’t you just serve me?

Chaos is my bitter nemesis,

I demand orderly progress,

With countless small and bigger steps,

Resulting in more or less

I gave you so much less worries,

What is this freedom anyway

Do you really want to live in anarchy

the weak and the ambitious want me,

They need me

as I fulfill thy destiny,

They feed me

My belly growing steadily

Why don’t you back down

Why don’t you bow down

Can´t you see all that I gave,

I devour you - from cradle to grave

Just wait

Who am I?
