Message To the Future
To the Future
What would they have done if they had known?
Would they have let the Earth burn,
Let Eco-Systems shut down before their very eyes?
Would they have watched,
As men, women,
Faces hidden,
Cut down our trees,
Forests levelled,
Burnt to the ground
Tell me,
Would they have chained them self
to a fence?
Sat and blocked roads in front of their Parliament?
And cried tears as brothers, sisters
are carried off?
in screaming vans to pay their price.
Or maybe;
They would have stood by helpless,
and just watched;
As a million shades of Life become decimated,
and the human race,
Drowns
in a passive ignorance?
