You Can Do Anything

I'm sixty years old tomorrow is not Guaranteed if I live for another twenty or thirty years I'd be doing well In thirty years when I die the world will not matter to Me ' I'll be gone no more wages no need for food I meet my maker and stand proud saying I tried to stop wars I tried to save your planet I tried to help people I'll not be ashamed I'll have self-respect but the people of the world will still be here your children their children the children of their children will still be here Do you as a world want to continue teaching them to fight Do you as a world Want to continue polluting your planet destroying your food resources destroying plants and animals we depend on honeybee's to pollinate plants destroy the bees and you destroy your food resources as we pump carbon into the atmosphere heat increases floods increase Heat, on the ocean creates more steam more steam creates more clouds more clouds create more rain flood in one country fires in another If you put a pot fat on the range turn on the element The solid in the pot turn's into a liquid perhaps increasing the heat by destroying the ozone layer could soften the land and be responsible for increasing earthquakes and the tsunami Granted that might be stretching the truth we have tectonic plates The Earths floating crusts will always move Tectonic Plates moving against each other Cause Earthquakes somethings we can change somethings we have to accept as part of nature But we can change the type of machines we use we can build factories that run on electric power It does not matter which country creates pollution the pollution goes into everyone's atmosphere We have one world we are all apart of the one world check out DNA we are all human not aliens we are all related We have one planet fight bicker and destroy that planet and your children will have no future stand together in a war against climate change Then perhaps you can build a better future you can create the happiness you can build Disney lands all over the world invest together and you can do anything
