Are We Done?
The trees are bleeding
And so is the land,
The days not far,
When in despair we stand.
Are we done?
The air is polluted,
It’s getting impure,
The people can’t stand it,
Will suffer for sure.
Are we done?
The factories dumping poison,
Marine life can’t live.
The coral is cut
Their habitats being seized,
For this is inhumane,
Can we end this?
Are we done?
The axes ruining forests,
The rangers killing beasts
Ivory for your decor
and leather for your needs.
Repentess as you are
Do you know where this leads?
Are we done?
Let’s sit back and think,
About the whys and hows
The damage we have caused
We have to fix it now.
The birds still chirp
The flowers still bloom
The world still works
How about you?
