Precious Earth

My child asked me one day, how a garbage dump affects the earth. It made me think about all it's worth And What we do to it on an average day How our choices affect it in every way How far our technology has come And What we'll actually have left when all is said and done What does it really mean to us, When all we do is take, after all it's given to us It's the one thing that gives us the ability to; Live Build Survive And Revel in beauty Putting poison back in the ground, Is not as graceful as it sounds I don't know about you But I'd like to stick around We drill oil just to poison the water that we drink But The government wouldn't want you to know that trick We drive in the cities with our big suv's until the air stinks We dig and dig till we cant dig no more But How much does the earth really have left to endore Cutting down trees Well,Thats just great! So the only answer is to replant what we take Come on people what more can I say Giving back to the earth is the only way
