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
