This Doesn'T Have To Be the End

The trees are softly dying 
Their wilting, their crying
We lose more & more every year
The air is stagnant 
Polluted with habits
We live in a fog 
Filled with defeat & fear
Methane building, ice is melting  
Parasites are being set free
All of this happening 
Because of selfish greed
Diseased & hungry, but still we don't see 
Life cannot survive this way
We're all softly dying, we're wilting,
We're crying, we lose more every year
We must change if the end is what you fear


"The world doesn't belong just to us,
But it is still our home.
Prosperity doesn't have to come at the cost of destroying our living Globe."
