Coughing, Bound To Choke
Clouds above are covered, flying kites of smoke
Yet we, careless, continue to disappoint
Murky Mother Nature, coughing, bound to choke
The world’s beautiful wonders we must exploit
Leaving its shining rivers dry and broken
Climate change arguments, just to make a point
Its rich gold minimized to money tokens
As we complain about the rivers flooding
Our own atrocities going unspoken
Violent change is about to be budding
Millions of us will perish, ‘lone in the street
Soon there's no coming back, there will be nothing
Using nature as a piggy bank, they cheat
Leaving those poor in the burning world wide heat
