We Take and Never Give Back
The Sun takes away the Stars
The moon gives the Stars back to us
The Sun gives us heat
The Moon gives us chills
The Earth watches the Sun and The Moon
Man is crushing the Earth we call these earthquakes
We take and we take from the earth
Placing it upon the earth never giving anything back
We suck oil from its veins and build cars and trains
Tall buildings so we can play games
The only thing man gives back, are their dead
We throw our trash into the sea and take it’s fish to eat
What has man given to the sea?
We build toys and gadgets from the earth
What have we given back to the earth?
We call earth our home we are only visitors
We bomb it with bombs testing to see
Who rules the earth?
We fight over land that no one really owns
We buy it with paper made form Gods trees
We take the gold and claim it as ours
Rubies, diamonds silver and wood all ours we say
We eat food from its trees and sell it with money made from trees
What have we given back to Earth?
