Our Corrupt Planet

The blue planet we live, a beautiful place 
Flaura, fauna, the human race!! 
Peace and beauty once graced our land 
The human race it seems has a different plan! 

Politics, religions abused by greed 
Wars and deaths, what have we come to be? 
We wear the burden of man made mistakes 
Global warming, pollution, and toxic waste. 

We are killing our planet! this is so!! 
When it's all over and dead, where will we go? 
Will we head away from this world of waste? 
To a far off planet, a beautiful place? 

Will we tell of all the mistakes we made? 
Will we corrupt our new world in the same old way? 
How can we really hold our heads high? 
We turn our backs, we blame others, point our fingers and lie! 

Come with me; lets all join hands 
Lets tell the world we're making a stand!! 
You see only we can change our ways 
Think of our children and their future days

Your rallying cry for some united actions... It resonates with people in all nations... It is so true we are here but a lifetime.. All need to wake up and realise the time.... How do we want nature from this Earth... To be pristine for our children to come... Tq for this plaintive cry of awakening... Do write more, it is most interesting reading...
