Once I was alive and full of mystery But now I am dying and full of misery Soon all that will be left is dirt and dust My molten sphere will begin to rust Fossil fuels, logging, factories and pollution I am dying but yet you have found no solution Yet you continue to consume without any thought Pretty soon resources, there will be naught Time isn’t on my side nor is the human population Only your obliviousness and ignorance has put me in this situation The weather cycles are getting stranger and stranger by the day Heat is building up on the ice caps dirt and clay The sea level is continuously rising And animal species are slowly dying Soon I’ll be nothing but disastrous ruins You must stop what you have been doing Cries of agony are an endless groan I am slowly dying and all alone Sadly my unrenewable products are beginning to run out You destroy everything that gets in your way without a single doubt You say you are humans but yet you show no humanity You have brought me to my insanity Animals and plants are only just surviving But yet you humans are still thriving You know what you are doing My broken world will be your undoing Perhaps you will never learn that my awful slow demise Was because you never even tried to compromised If in the end you try to save me from my tragic fate It will it be too little too late /gt

Too little too late
Once I was alive and full of mystery But now I am dying and full of misery Soon all that will be left is dirt and dust My molten sphere will begin to rust Fossil fuels, logging, factories and pollution I am dying but yet you have found no solution Yet you continue to consume without any thought Pretty soon resources, there will be naught Time isn’t on my side nor is the human population Only your obliviousness and ignorance has put me in this situation The weather cycles are getting stranger and stranger by the day Heat is building up on the ice caps dirt and clay The sea level is continuously rising And animal species are slowly dying Soon I’ll be nothing but disastrous ruins You must stop what you have been doing Cries of agony are an endless groan I am slowly dying and all alone Sadly my unrenewable products are beginning to run out You destroy everything that gets in your way without a single doubt You say you are humans but yet you show no humanity You have brought me to my insanity Animals and plants are only just surviving But yet you humans are still thriving You know what you are doing My broken world will be your undoing Perhaps you will never learn that my awful slow demise Was because you never even tried to compromised If in the end you try to save me from my tragic fate It will it be too little too late /gt
