Earth
The earth is the only thing helping us to continue to naturally survive
Yet we keep on developing it and say life will get better over time
When are we just going to learn to live with earth so nature can naturally thrive
Every time a tree gets cut down or a animal shot I can hear the earth cry
We are the only species that kills out of context and then still have the audacity to say we are wise
Open up your eyes
Look at all the destruction we are feeding as it continues to rise
We have all played a part because we are waiting for some sort of prize
Then being fed like vultures, invisible drug with endless supply
But when the water drys
And all the trees have died
And all the animals have said their goodbyes
We will have no one, NO ONE to blame but ourselves, look at your own monster in the mirror with your own two eyes
If you have the abilty to see, reflect and analyze
Oh wait, lets get a close up so we can advertise
And put it on the TV, so we can continue to buy
