The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Earth Vs Us

We are losing a war with the earth, that we started
So many creatures becoming the dearly departed
Cut down so many trees, we're raising degrees
Throw some money at a problem the publics appeased
But that doesn't cut it. You know when you'll care?
When the government starts charging for air
Birds in the sky, can't talk they just fly
If they could then they would break down and just cry
Stop being selfish, we need to eat, breath and sleep
Nothing else matters so please take a peek
At the world we're living in, it's not all about you
Not just a change of policies but, what can YOU do?
The whole planet is connected in ways that surprise
Stop being blinded. one sided, and open your eyes
Or better yet, open your heart and never forget
Hindsight can only lead to regret
