Collapse of All We Know

Wild fires signify the world is burning

Pollution ravaging the seas show the tides not turning,

Pesticides pollute the air and earth and what makes it worse

Is it infiltrates our food supply and puts us all risk,

Yet still the multi nationals want to make it harder still to exist,

By fracking fuel that poisons the water tables and cause quakes

And those who cannot see this are not ing awake,

The planet is overheating as the ice caps melt

And sooner rather than later these effects will be felt,

And meanwhile man keeps driving animals into extinction

If some told about this years ago you would think it science fiction,

And if that’s not enough capitalist, right wing Fascistic governments

Are driving people into food banks causing more homeless people on the street,

So with the collapse of society, the environment and earth

We must start questioning will we get what we deserve,

A planet that we can’t live no longer on because of our destructive ways

The ferryman is coming soon and mankind is going to pay.
