Earth's Dying

A rhyming wave, Earth's dying now!
Yes, dying, dying, dying now!
Yes, we can stop it, yes, here's how
Yes; don't pollute, I plead!

This is fact! Not a warning, heed!
No warning, warning, warning, heed!
Ten extinctions per day, indeed!
Ten! Yes, forever lost!

For the rich, no life, bar theirs' cost.
Yes, bar theirs, bar theirs, bar theirs cost.
All life is cheap, they've hearts of frost.
All life, they will soon learn!
        
With climate change, all life will burn!
Yes, life will, life will, life will burn!
It's time they learnt how to discern!
Pollution will kill all!
        
A rhyming wave, Earth's dying now! 
Pollution will kill all!

Yep! Hoping it's not too little too late, one thing is for sure we won't be around to see how things turn out. Mick
