Theres No Planet B

Did you see me before I died
I was the last white rhino alive

you have no conscience you are void of pride
you damage what we need to survive

the air you breath, the food you eat
natural resources you deplete 

the  waters rising 
the ice is sliding 

the planets clock is ticking down
yet we just stand and look around

Politian’s talk the talk
yet into disaster they just sleep walk

the young can see their future bleak
why are these Politian’s so weak 

the bosses fiddling while the sun burns mother earth 
milking her for all she’s worth

from the biggest whale to the humble bee
lets all pray we never need that planet b

At first, I thought I read plan B, then I realised it was planet B, once all is lost there is no plan B, silly me . . . : (

Stephen, you are a do-gooder who wants people to be aware, an environmentalist gone "poetic" - love it!
