Have you ever heard the term

"The grass is always greener on the other side"

I'm going to assume you have
But I think the better question to ponder is
What happens when there's no more grass?

What are we doing to our earth
There is trash heaps the size of this city
And our society should feel guilty
When the only one that bats an eye
Is an incoherent ****** hippie

You know anybody can make a difference
This disparity must be stopped
So let's take a stand

Because my generation, our generation
Will face the greatest threat that has ever faced this nation
And that is climate change

AND if you ask me it is very strange
That so many people remain caged
In a cell of disregard
Acting like our earth isn't scared

Around the world we're facing
Irreversible drought
A rising sea level
A midst the sixth mass extinction

So why is our society
Not showing the distinction
That this is a pivotal issue

As teenagers we're
Watching environments be
Wrecked by our forefathers
While your sons and daughters
Will face the systemic problems
We forsake.

So the burden is on me,
Its on you, on all of our shoulders
To fight with a rage
To end climate change.

In awe of your brilliance
I was in your shadow of hope,
For a better future.

You set an example for me
By never settling for mediocrity,
Testing all of your limits.

Fleeing from the rubble we were raised
Wishing that I could do the same.

Someday I'll show the world
The importance of having you,
As my sister.

Striding against gust,
On the verge of victory
Finish line in sight!

Breathtaking beauty settles before my eye’s
Palpable is this peace in a land where air is thin
While beaming brilliance, lights the skies

Rage is visible in the irate tides
Of the Rocky Mountain rapids crashing by
Breathtaking beauty settles, before my eyes

With a scent of bristlecone pines
Drifting on wistful winds
While beaming brilliance, lights the skies

Over the ridge valleys rest in dark disguise
As shade is thrown down from heavens above
Breathtaking beauty settles, before my eyes

Eager for this moment to last, time I do despise
As stars align in a language read by gods
While beaming brilliance, lights the skies

Omnipotent powers string these patterns
That rest above great valleys in masterpiece
Breathtaking beauty settles, before my eyes
While beaming brilliance, lights the skies
