Around the World

People need love

A chance to succeed

Be freed

From their shackles

Escape the jackals

The world keeps turning

And I don’t know my place

Wish I had a pretty face

But my whole life is pleasing others

Helping others

Because people don’t listen to their

Mothers

At least we’re standing on Earth

My knowledge consumes me

My memories haunting

Can’t leave things behind

Can’t let things be

Earth turns rapidly

Moving at great vеlocity

What it provides us is daunting

Just got to stay true to self

It’s thе earth

That gives birth

To existence

In essence

We are it’s offspring

Yet all we do is bring

It’s demise

For years the government spread lies

It’s time for a change

You should explore the range

Of pollution and destruction

We have bought forth

If you head north

Greenland is melting

There needs to be clear instruction

On how to save our mother

Plants are welting

It’s a bother

Oceans drying up

Have we sought to make things better?

Nup

2050

Is our doomsday

Governments being shifty

Plant more trees the activists say

Don’t over fish

Solar panels and wind farms

We may be too late

There’s a knife that we need to disarm

Digging into the world’s stomach

2050 is the end at this rate

My knowledge consumes me

My memories haunting

Can’t leave things behind

Can’t let things be

Earth turns rapidly

Moving at great velocity

What it provides us is daunting

Just got to stay true to self

Around the world people need love

Guidance

A chance to succeed

Be freed from the shackles

Escape the jackals

The world keeps turning

And I don’t know my place

Wish I had a pretty face

But my whole life is pleasing others

Helping others

Because people don’t listen to their mothers

At least we are standing on Earth

Thinking about climate change gives

Me a headache

The world decides what lives

It doesn’t look kindly to us

Nothing more than pus

Since we decimated it’s innards

It bids

Us farewell

And I don’t know

Octopus grow legs and lungs

Row row row

Your boat gently down the stream

We the bee and to Earth we

Have stung

Greta is a meme

But she might be on to something

Hopefully the government will see

Action needs to be taken

Swiftly

All we can do is keep our zen

The world’s cough is deadly

Earth gave birth to life in all its glory

It’s told a long and painful story

That’s coming to an end

It wants us to be it’s friend

And we went to the dark side

Like Kylo Ren

I confide

I’m not the guy

To save the planet

Don’t want to lie

But I’ll do my bit, bit by bit

My knowledge consumes me

My memories haunting

Can’t leave things behind

Can’t let things be

Earth turns rapidly

Moving at great velocity

What it provides us is daunting

Just got to stay true to self

Around the world people need love

Guidance

A chance to succeed

Be freed from the shackles

Escape the jackals

The world keeps turning

And I don’t know my place

Wish I had a pretty face

But my whole life is pleasing others

Helping others

Because people don’t listen to their mothers

At least we are standing on Earth
