What will our future generation see when they set their gaze outside their homes?
Will the air and land be polluted with a brown haze?
Will they struggle to breathe
As we have thieved them of their trees?
Will they see what once was green grass,
Now mud and cement, with soft land now all but a dream?
Will their water be all but brown mush, polluted with toxic chemicals and plastic waste?
Will they be anguished with anger and sadness from the world we put them in?
Will the thought of “we could have” be a burden in their souls,
Constantly tearing them apart from the inside with regret?
We have the chance now to save our children from a world of suffering
Their future depends on us,
So what will you do?
Will you be the one to save our planet?
Or will you choose to climb the ever growing social ladder,
Choosing fame and money over our home?
As the time our planet has continues to dwindle
You have the choice now so what will you pick?
Just remember once you choose it may be too late to re pick
Our minds are our limit so open them broadly
We need to stop saying someone will but not us
For if we all say that will anything really change?
We need to stop saying tomorrow will be the day
Or I will change tomorrow,
Tomorrow is not now and our planet needs saving today
Tomorrow may be to late so take action now
We need to stop picking money and economy over the place we call home
The actions we do now are to mainly benefit the cash we have,
Not the trash we make and constantly feed into our planet
We recycle to make profit and money
Not with the thought of our humble abode
Our home,
The place where we roam
And the place where we have grown
We can make profit by helping the planet,
Not only by making money
But by giving our kids a future worth living
The benefits of saving our planet drastically out way whatever negatives rot in our mind,
Eating our insides,
poisoning our brain
And shrinking our heart
Our earth is in pain
Our choices will stain the world we live in
We can stick together and take a stance
Together we have a chance
Our race is lying and our planet is dying
Do you want a future without suffering or one where hope seems all but lost
Do you want our kids to be able to run wild in deep forests,
To dive the deepest waters
To climb the highest mountains
To have endless possibilities,
Not ones limited by the actions we make today
We can give our future generations a happy future
Full of love and joy and celebrations
And commemorations, not hallucinations, of what we have done and what we will do
Not one with mass mourning of the planet we have killed
We will end up as murderers, convicted of killing the only place we know
And we will need to live with the consequences of our actions
Unless we change
Will we need to take refuge somewhere else?
Will the somewhat savage nature of humans have destroyed earth?
Will we have learned from our mistakes?
Or will we keep running from them?
Destroying planet after planet after planet
Until we have nowhere else to go
Continuously trying to escape the fate that us and our mates have made,
As we consistently try to outrun the hate?
Will we always need to run,
Despite tiredness and regret always following behind us
Or will you start today to change the way our children will need to live
We can\'t predict the future but we can protect it
We are caged in our minds,
Like our planet is caged in pain
And we can help it escape
There is endless things our future will bring
If we give it the tools to do so
We can stop killing our home
And make sure its living for our kids
So what will you do?
