Jacob Mar 2018
Ash falling from the sky
Fire raging in the hills
This is California life
Apocalyptic weather that gives me chills
I know this is the end times
So I have to express my feelings through these rhymes
Before it's too late
The changing climate is humanity's fate
We ignore what's there and instead spread hate
Polar bears starving
Glaciers melting
In the stone my name I be carving
So the future species can know the story I'm telling
We had our chance
To perfect this life dance
We failed
Life will go on
In this universe humans are simply pawns
But we have to try to do something
So we don't die doing nothing
Preserve innocent organisms
Instead of making millions through capitalism
Greed will end this intelligent animal breed that will lead to nuclear war
That reality is not that far
So gather all your hopes in a jar
Because we have to cope with our scars
Even that remnant of the deepest wound
We should have been flying among the stars but instead created our imminent doom
I hope there is a god to save us.
To bring peace among this Earth.
But the way I see it there is only us.
So come together
We have to save our planet
Something that we can make last forever
Never take that for granted
I wish I could say more but I have to go
I have to open that door to understand what life's for

— The End —
