Too Late
Too late ?
I cant relate to these people from the day of my birth.
These ones who rape and pillage the Earth.
I pursuit of the great profit that reigns all supreme.
At the expense of all that’s beautiful and green
But soon the cost will be felt
As the ice continues to melt
When the water starts to come through the floor
That’s not all just wait there’s more!
Cyclones floods droughts so grand
Still we keep our head in the sand
Though the time will come when we have no choice
But to speak out in one loud voice
We only have one foot through the gate
ACT NOW its not to late
To change our selfish, unwise way
And make those most responsible pay
For the Earth is the only home we know
When it’s ruined where will we go ?
Though I fear things will stay the same
There is to much money in this game
Now sorry to end on a negative note
But I hope you can swim
And your house float
