Fate Is Lurking

We are destroying the Earth
Disrupting it’s life
Instead of rebirth
Things are ending in strife

So now it’s up to us
To make things right
We have to sweep up this dust
And see that this is worth the fight

We can wait no longer
We must take action
We can no longer ponder
Just to have another horrible reaction

Species are dying 
Going extinct!
And on the couch you are lying
While the outside world has been hoodwinked

If you were one of those poor creatures
Wouldn’t you hate the humans too?
With all of their harmful high-tech features
Wiping you out through and through

So let’s get down to working
We can no longer wait
For in the corners are lurking
The Earth’s possible fate
