Breathe in and breathe out.
Can´t live without it
With every cigarette you smoke, you take part in killing a stranger.
With every car you start, you take part in destroying the last bit of fresh air.
Where are the birds that used to fly,
Where are the fish that used to swim,
Where are the children that used to play?
One day we will wish there was a clock whose hands we could rewind.
To the time, when it still was not "too late"
Now, at this very second, is the time to finally realize,
what it´s all truly worth.
Let´s not be the generation who "could" have made a change
Breathe in and breathe out.
Remember that you can´t live without it
Can´t live without it
With every cigarette you smoke, you take part in killing a stranger.
With every car you start, you take part in destroying the last bit of fresh air.
Where are the birds that used to fly,
Where are the fish that used to swim,
Where are the children that used to play?
One day we will wish there was a clock whose hands we could rewind.
To the time, when it still was not "too late"
Now, at this very second, is the time to finally realize,
what it´s all truly worth.
Let´s not be the generation who "could" have made a change
Breathe in and breathe out.
Remember that you can´t live without it
This poem is a reminder of the fact that it still is not "too late". There is still hope, but the possible future seems dark. Therefore we need to think about our actions, and perhaps take some action and actually do something to save the environment, to protect these children and to give the next generation a world where they can play and live their lives with the same possibilities as us.
