Earth

The earth is the only thing helping us to continue to naturally survive 

Yet we keep on developing it and say life will get better over time 

When are we just going to learn to live with earth so nature can naturally thrive 

Every time a tree gets cut down or a animal shot I can hear the earth cry 

We are the only species that kills out of context and then still have the audacity to say we are wise 

Open up your eyes 

Look at all the destruction we are feeding as it continues to rise 

We have all played a part because we are waiting for some sort of prize

Then being fed like vultures, invisible drug with endless supply 

But when the water drys 

And all the trees have died 

And all the animals have said their goodbyes 

We will have no one, NO ONE to blame but ourselves, look at your own monster in the mirror with your own two eyes 

If you have the abilty to see, reflect and analyze 

Oh wait, lets get a close up so we can advertise 

And put it on the TV, so we can continue to buy
