Mother Earth

Read these words I write of truth What we left for our youth This place called home, Mother Earth Supply's all things for lifes birth A brilliant sky so distant and blue Smokey clouds that mountains soar through Such beautiful waters once crisp and clean Slowly die as they turn green Flourishing lands to provide us food Yet still we treat her oh so crude One of these days it will be to late We have no time to sit and wait Our childrens future is at hand For one day this will be their land So much was given for all to share Then greed stepped in out went fair Lets get started and get things done Earths supply will soon be none Theres no other planet that we can see We've searched throughout history We must band together and turn things around To make Mother Earth safe and sound Try to change the way we live Don't take as much and try to give Clean up our mess and plant some trees Care more about the birds and the bees Love the earth as you love your child Before she turns violent and things get wild Maybe we could slow things down Clean it all up town by town The time is now this very day Her beauty slowly melts away So stop and think what can we do To keep our waters clean and blue Things won't change unless we try Or MOTHER EARTH will surely die!!
