2027

No longer Heaven And not a country is known for being stronger With a sun that has no reason to rise And a moon that doesn't want to set the midnight light No heat or any weather to try and beat But streets filled with human waste And a horrid smell that tastes of incompetence There is no more glee For we can’t treat the home we have been giving With respect and elegance Plants wilted and unrecognizable Houses rotted and shattered Streets cluttered and cracked And air so sour you will feel that you have no power No use in restoring it For everything has been destroyed by Earth's own men And if one tried one would end up dead Regret and guilt But there is no time Earth is ready to go And we won’t stop it
