Our world, is in a horrendous state of repair
Problem is
There's not enough people
Who truly care
We can't just move to the 4th rock from the sun
We can't just tax the world and pray that the problems are simply undone
Our resources might just be on reserve
And we have the intelligence to preserve
So is it the gluttonous retention of wealth that handcuffs us to a stalemate
Or our misguided judgements of the hysterical hypocrisy hemmed into a society that deems a healthy environment less important than who is next to dishonour as they dictate
It shall be cataclysmic
Our efforts to avoid and avert?
Quite honestly,, pathetic,
Our self worth
This is reflected
On our treatment of earth
Down here, we are trying
To nurture nature as she sits crying
Up there aloft, where the orders command and the pockets demand
They are flying
As we perish from existence
As we struggle to even stay alive
As we prepare for Armageddon
Our dooms day procession
Feel rest assured
If our intolerance towards change isn't cured
Then it is only the planet that shall survive
Our prosperity
Can never be exchanged for our integrity
Let the glory of our existence
Be the definition of  our humanity
