JUST LIKE THE SAHARA

They say the Sahara was once full of life
Could you believe it? that dead grey sand was once covered by green grass?
These dead dry valleys were once full of water? sounds unbelievable 
They say man kind's activities and a little bit of nature did that

If the world which was made for mankind to live in couldn't take it then 
Who am I? YOH Deeds are destroying me just like yoh ancestors did to the Sahara.
I been the first to call n the last to text, been there for you I GUES YO TOO blind to see that
Soon the monsoon will shift just like it did from the Sahara

I won't leave no foot prints for you to remember that you were once prioritised, loved and cared for
Just like the Sahara it will be impossible to think that  I once loved you, cried for you and always ran after you
Just like the dead grey sand crying for rain so you will for the love you don't appreciate now
Goodbye I am where I'm appreciated now.
