what we have done
we have crossed all the lines
we have declined
all the warning signs  
we have missed the deadlines
now one day our sun will not shine
to so many things, we remain blind
so stupid of us, that it never entered our minds
that we needed to be kind

to little, to late
to stop, mankind's fate
just wait!!

on this earth, the crimes, the crimes
committed against her
silent to what we have heard
we thought how absurd
and we just continue forward

when there is no more
songbirds
redbirds
seabirds
snowbirds
to late, for what we should have heard

then when it is to late
we will look back
wishing we would have listened to  and heard
all the warnings

that we should  
and should have been
kind
to our mother earth
!!
