Seven Billion Reasons

Another baby born, another bushel of wheat Another piece of land, for another family to eat Another net is cast, another fish is caught Another fire in the forest, another tree sought Another bird flees, another bird gone No home for the beast, diversity all gone Crops in the amazon, Rivers clogged up Flooding in cities, Seas on the up Nature under pressure, Pollution the price Shortage of wheat, Shortage of Rice Temperature rising, Deserts expanding Oil running out, the world is in doubt War for resources, the west uses force While the poor beg in cities Victims of policies, Victims of atrocities Seas that are empty, bellies that are swelled Mankind too many, Riots a plenty The button is pushed, and humanity is hushed The Earth is now empty, Heaven is full And we are seven billion reasons For God to cry “Treason” ”Treason” And the stars look on, silent And galaxies die alone And no one will know. This place, Where once, our babies did grow. But time will go on And the earth is aglow Just as it was, seven billion years ago. Seven billion today Tomorrow more What is the real figure? For all out Nuclear War?
