How dare we scorch this sacred ground,
With greed and waste, our sins abound.
We choke the skies, we taint the seas,
And watch as nature falls to knees.

Our factories spew their toxic breath,
While forests burn, a dance of death.
We plunder earth for fossil's gain,
Ignoring cries of nature's pain.

The ice caps melt, the oceans rise,
Yet still we turn our blinded eyes.
We talk and talk, but never act,
Our promises, a hollow pact.

How dare we claim to care and love,
While pushing life to edge above.
Our children’s future, bleak and grim,
A world of ash, a light grown dim.

Rise up, humanity, take heed,
For once, let actions match our creed.
Or face the wrath of earth betrayed,
In flames of guilt, our debts repaid.
