Hurting Earth
The earth is tired, can’t you see?
We take too much, and set it free.
The skies are gray, the rivers dry,
Yet we just watch as time goes by.
The trees once stood, so tall, so strong,
But now they’re fading, something’s wrong.
We hear the cries, the oceans plea,
But still we act like we don’t see.
We’ve lost the green, the soft, the blue,
And deep inside, we always knew.
But still we waste, still we take,
Not realizing what’s at stake.
We know it’s dying, we know it’s clear,
But do we even care?
The earth is hurt, it can’t pretend,
And soon it might not have an end.
So look around, it’s not too late,
Maybe it’s time we change our fate.
We’ve done enough, now let’s undo,
Before the earth stops loving you.
