Sad Landscape - Our Planet
How can anything live in this World of ours
No Green any more have the Trees
Flowers now all Black and Dying
No Songs, the Birds no longer Sing
No Wind rustles through the Trees
The Waves no longer crash on the Sea Shores
No Sound of Music playing in the Air
Children, We no longer hear at Play
The Vast Sky An Enormous Black Void
What The Hell Have We Done
No Fish break the Surface of the Still Lakes
No Sounds of Sheep or Lowing of Cows
This World of No Colour or Laughter
Sends Shivers Down my Spine
Nature tried Time and Time Again
To Warn us to Change our Ways
Sending Plagues and Aids among Other Things
But Did We Listen to Her Pleas?
Instead We De-voided Forests of Their Trees
Polluted Our Rivers, Lakes and Seas
Why didn't We Listen, We Just Continued
To Pillage and Rape This World of Ours
What The Hell Have We Done
Everywhere I look I see Emptiness
There is Only One Colour Left
That of Blood soaking into the Land
Its Vivid Red Hue shocking
yet as all will know
blood when it hits the light
turns colour, turning to Black
against the Poisoned Landscape
What The Hell Have We Humans Done
