Save Earth

We have taken away the Earth's greenery 
we are standing on a dying globe
we are crying with hands in pocket 
it's like enjoying a cool drink , but waiting to be hit by a rocket 

I see a young man walking away from a burning forest,  
billion of trees cut down 
million of lives insecured
and many living species vanishing for good
I see a young woman , snapping a rising sea level 
A negligent person , is his own devil 

I see a young man running 
I see a young woman starving 
floods  have occupied her home 
days are warmer and so are the nights
when are minds are colder, no wrong is right 

we are making of this haven a hell of a paradise 
we are our own murderers and parasites 

I am now hiding in a shaking roof
And the sky as red as blood
who would save us from this plight ?

there's a huge storm coming my direction 
it's a storm that took away my home 
the land now rejects crops 
I am as good as a living corpse 

we owe the ground an apology
planting more trees can clear the agony 
and maybe spare the future generations a chance to survive a little bit longer 

They say, recycling help reduce greenhouse gas emissions
but recycling our minds, still stands out as the best solution
