"Carpe Diem"


The earth is dying,
People still go shopping
People still watch TV,
As the earth is dying.

The earth is dying,
And new trends are top priority
And national healthcare is a pressing issue,
As the earth is dying.

The earth is dying,
When fur clothing is all the rage
When pollution factories multiply,
As the earth is dying.

The earth is dying,
Everybody knows it
Everybody is afraid of it,
As the earth is dying

As the earth is dying
Nobody does a thing
They just stand there and watch
As the earth is dying

The earth is dying,
We need to help it
We need to do it now,
Or else Earth will die.


The author's comments:
This piece was inspired by the nature around me, just in my own backyard, where a nature preserve is. And one day, it just hit me: that if everyone just keeps ignoring the fact that our plantet's nature is falling apart, then the Earth will, essentially, die without all of the life that nature brings. I hope to inspire people to just care, a little goes a long way.
