Too Late

Too late ?
I cant relate to these people from the day of my birth.
These ones who rape and pillage the Earth.
I pursuit of the great profit that reigns all supreme.
At the expense of all that’s beautiful and green
But soon the cost will be felt 
As the ice continues to melt
When the water starts to come through the floor
That’s not all just wait there’s more!
Cyclones floods droughts so grand
Still we keep our head in the sand

Though the time will come when we have no choice 
But to speak out in one loud voice
We only have one foot through the gate
ACT NOW its not to late
To change our selfish, unwise way
And make those most responsible pay 
For the Earth is the only home we know 
When it’s ruined where will we go ?
Though I fear things will stay the same
There is to much money in this game

Now sorry to end on a negative note 
But I hope you can swim 
          And your house float
