Wasting Time

WASTING TIME

soft breezes tease life
 they know the power of a storm
 mother... and father
 ~
 mother... and father
 they know the power of a storm
 soft breezes tease life
 ~
 six hundred years...
 then perhaps the end of life...
 says Stephen Hawking
 ~
 planet earth... its fools...
 the human race... idiots...
 our greed killing life
 ~
 heeded not warnings
 past the point of no return
 and no ones bothered...
 ~
 to save the planet
 indeed... if it can be done
 stop all pollution...
 ~
 all transportation
 made public... no private cars
 no private aircraft...
 ~
 ban synthetics...
 unnecessary products...
 we want to survive...
 ~
 as I write... believe...
 mass extinction is for real
 we must help stop it
 ~
 six hundred years...
 we want six-hundred plus more...
 or is it just me...
 ~
 battling each other
 has to stop... like pollution
its killing the world
 ~
 wake up... wake up... wake
 coz... unless we at least try...
 our kids... no future
 ~
 look out your window
 enjoying what you see
 for how much longer
 ~
 look at mars... as is
 planet earth's future... could be...
 no... I'm not joking
 ~
 heed the warnings
 why would scientists all lie...
 I'll ask again... WHY...
