Why should I work for society
When society is destroying the Earth?
Why should I serve the state
When it's killing the country’s worth?
I debt only one to the planet,
And only one to the forest.
I know for sure that I owe
My life and birth to they, the purest.
They give us food, they give us rest,
Shelter and life — the very best.
But we exchange them for money,
Give back poison, dirt — it's not funny.
Money does not return the lives
That we take just to survive.
Taking life? Then understand —
You must give back with your hand.
Cut down a tree — plant dozens.
Plow the field — then grow wild cousins.
Killed the animals — bring them back,
Help them rise from the attack.
Destroyed the ecology? Then restore
Balance, life, and something more.
If you’ve taken freedom from the wild,
Give it back — to every child.
I debt only one to the planet,
And only one to the forest.
Not to a flag or a man-made rule,
But to the Earth — my only school.
We exchange them for money,
And poison the roots for honey.
But money won't revive the flame
Of the lives we burn in name.
Taking life? Create it new —
That’s the balance owed by you.
