Breeding Death

Not long will it be when the grass Be nothing more than sand. And forests through where rivers pass Are but a barren land. Not long until the songs of birds Be just a memory, And rats that dwell under the earth, A last breath they will breathe. Not long before the lion's roars Be relics of the past. And grasslands where the gazelles roam Turn into wastelands vast. Beasts that hide in machines' form Purge lands with ruthless greed. The human monsters that lives on Their own kin they will eat. Crops that serve their money lust And buildings that stand tall. Destroy what nature's given us Make cannibals of us all. A world that's run by selfish swines, Corrupt and filled with lies. The truth they bend and intertwine All is money in their eyes. Death is closer than we think If we don't try to change. The whole world in extinction's brink Our forests must be saved. We should learn how to coexist And conserve what we must. If not, our world will fade to mist And be engulfed in dust. Destroy all of your greedful hate With love for mother earth. The future in our hand's been laid Preventing the great dearth.
