Needed Change

The world spins Making its way around the sun again Millions of years in rotation It knows not What happens on its surface It just continues its task And fulfills its purpose Mindless to the tragedies And suffering That is covering it The earth gives us all we need Food to eat Water to drink and the air to breath But no one seems to see Or give a damn Wanting more and fighting for Things we don't need We are a weed calling ourselves man Destroying the land It's so unfair But it allows our way of life So we don't care We process everything we consume Because subsidence isn't enough And even though no one can truly own This big rock we call home We feel we lack enough space And refuse to share with Certain others in our race Telling them you can't cross the invisible line Because this is all mine! Until it's no longer enough And we bust Into someone else's And force them to give it up By any means necessary we deploy Willing to kill To Destroy The land and its inhabitants To build more factories It's a tragedy Ruining the air with emissions And cutting down the tree That reconditions And recycles the oxygen What's the smartest species again? We deface this earth That's been maintaining us since birth We Kill out entire species Hunt just for fun Live like earth isn't important Like there's another one Wake up This is ed up How long will this place last When it's trying to heal And we are killing it twice as fast We are conveniently blind to the facts What is it that we've really achieved Boats, planes, cars, trains Making the air smell strange Landfills over filled Throwing out half our meals Going past the pollution limit Making deals To continue it Meaningless bombs explodin Leaked Chemicals causing erosion Mining the earth hallow For elements To fuel, to build, or just to look at And refusing to circumvent Because it makes money And it's convenient Oh yes, money The root of all evil The reason two men are no longer? equal A made up device Used as a vise To control So powerful It can corrupt souls Cause wars Makes people blind To the wrongs they commit And makes them lose their minds In order to get more of it Few will admit But everything done Under the sun Is for idol number one The almighty dollar It's worth everything To everybody Worth more then Ones health ,Love ,friends, or Even ourselves We need to change direction Offer earth protection Find cleaner ways to live Show each other respect love And affection Join as one
