How Bad Can It Be
How bad can it be?
The earth is dying.
Animals are crying.
Their homes being taken from them.
But how bad can it be?
Can’t go outside because it’s to smoky but
How bad can it be?
Wondering what’s going to kill us first,
War or what we have done to our planet.
Some people really don’t see,
That there is no planet b.
But how bad can it be?
You think the economy is more important than the ecosystem?
Try counting money while holding your breath.
if we kill the natural system of air, water, and soil that keeps us alive and well, no amount of money will take us out of this hell.
I don’t think you understand how bad it could be.
No one will know if I litter once. Right?
The tables turn when 8 billion people say that.
Global seas are rising, the earth is frying but at least your saving money.
Our earth is dissolving but your world is still revolving around you.
Our earth is warming we are informing when are you going to see that this isnt just a warning.
Millions of people are dying everyday but our still trying to say that you picked up a piece of plastic the other day.
How bad can it be???
When are you going to see the earth isnt guaranteed
Over 400 fires were not just liars this is how its gonna be
You say it cant be until it affects you and your family.
Are you stuck it in a dream or are you just not noticing a theme.
