I find this world to be
A moss-covered rock
What once was beauty
Is now something I mock

The trees and oceans are becoming soiled
With the disgusting wastes of our kind
The sun used to shine upon us like a light
Now, a midst the clouds, it's hard to find

Not only is our world polluted
With the garbage that we litter
It's being polluted with
Our angered feelings, so bitter

I hate the pressure we put upon ourselves
The angry feelings we have for one another
Why do we force ourselves to fake our love
When we can't just truly love each other?

That's too much to ask of us, apparently
For we can never truly love
Our feelings are muffled by the angry words
That come from above

It's like asking for a shark to live without water
Or a human to live without air
Oh how cruel this world has become
I don't know how much of this I can bare
