The stars disappear as the buildings grow
The world overheats and melts the snow
The land was once green but now it is grey
Soft plastic kills the fish in the bay
The clothes in the shops are made of junk
The men at the pub are getting drunk
The mask blocks my mouth from the viruses reach
We stand 1.5 metres apart
The fire on the mountain is raging strong
The birds no longer sing their song
The winds come quicker, sooner, hotter
Near the woolies in town I see a squatter
The words that I hear are rough and mean
The eyes of the children are locked on screens
The algorithms grab us and pull us in
Put the money in the pokies until you win
It is time for the world to change
Before the darkness falls
