What is wrong with humanity We torture animals to entertain ourselves We separate them from their families We burn their homes Flames licking at ancient trees We poison their waters We fill them with plastic and oil And say that we have it bad What have we done?
You can't go anywhere that Hasn't been touched and ruined by humans. Not a forest with no footsteps Not an ocean with no plastic Not a mountain where humans haven't planted their flag. What have we done?
Homes Gone. Lives Lost. A collapsed society, built on greed and neglect World awful Whoever has more money wins People stuck on violent, garbage filled streets Animals in chains What have we done?
Birds try to fly But wings are tied Fishes try to swim But gills are caught What have we done?
The only way to fix it Is to start over If only. If only we could. Goodbye, dear earth. I'm so sorry.
