Paradise Lost

Say goodbye to the future

The final die was cast

After years of pollution

The human race has passed

The answer to our problem

Was just carbon reduction

But we made a decision

That caused our destruction

We ignored all the warnings

No matter what the cost

Once a world full of beauty

Now paradise is lost

In order for Earth to heal itself, it must irradicate the disease. Well said my friend.

Hello Brother Jerry, unfortunately we're the disease destroying the Earth and our future. Or I should say we're destroying our ability to survive on this planet, the Earth will continue spinning without us.
